A sanctuary just outside the northeastern province of Sakarya, Poyrazlar Lake Nature Park attracts city dwellers with its quiet natural beauty, diverse bird species and outdoor pursuits. It welcomed 260,000 visitors last year.

Located just 10 kilometers from the city center, the nature park offers picnic and camping areas as well as walking and cycling trails, a horse-riding farm, ATV tours, an amusement park, a sightseeing train, canoeing and pedal boats. Visitors can also enjoy water lilies that bloom toward the end of spring.

The park, which offers opportunities to take part in numerous activities and observe different bird species, provides visitors with the chance to spend quality time surrounded by nature.
