The boat slips away from the landing and the cliffs close in: cedar- and pine-streaked slopes tower, water turns a deep emerald, and the engine’s hum becomes part of the canyon’s rhythm.

History
The reservoir formed after the Oymapınar (Oymapinar) Dam construction, which transformed a river valley into the scenic lake visitors cruise today.
Conservation
Stay on designated boarding points and avoid leaving waste; the canyon’s shoreline vegetation is fragile and regenerates slowly after trampling.
