The engine coughs into life and the canyon exhales — dust lifts, pistons answer, and the Taurus slopes close around you. On a 20 km quad circuit through Köprülü (Köprucay) Canyon, you’ll ride parallel to the river, punch through mud ruts and crest sunlit ridgelines before a cool swim in the brook’s clear spring water.

Wildlife
History
The Köprüçay River carved the canyon through limestone; the corridor has served as a travel route since antiquity and the national park protects both geological and cultural landscape.
Conservation
Stay on designated tracks, avoid engine idling near sensitive riparian areas and take all trash back to town — the park balances recreation with riparian habitat protection.

Expect mud and water
Your quad will cross shallow river sections and mud; wear quick-drying pants and secure electronics in waterproof cases.
Arrive with sensible footwear
Closed-toe, grippy shoes protect toes and help with ground starts; flip-flops are unsafe on quads.
Hydrate and time your ride
Start in the morning in summer to avoid peak heat and carry a 1–1.5 L water bottle—swim breaks don’t replace steady hydration.
Follow the guide and cameras
Ride in formation, obey the lead guide for safety, and be ready for staged photo stops if you want dynamic shots.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Protects feet and provides traction on footpegs and muddy banks.
Long pants and lightweight jacket
Shields legs from brush and reduces scrapes from branches and mud.
Waterproof phone pouch or action camera
Keeps electronics dry during river splashes and swim breaks.
Reusable water bottle (1–1.5 L)
Maintains hydration between the short river stop and the end of the ride.
