Its story
The dam was built in the 1970s on the site of the old village of Kalecik, and the area around the lake was gradually laid out as a picnic and rest area. Neglected for a time, the area was reopened in 2013 through the efforts of the district governorate; a restaurant, children's playgrounds, a running track and a masjid were added. Because of its proximity to the district center, the Kalecik Dam pine grove is one of the most popular places for the people of Karakoçan to relax in summer. It is a quiet stop for walking along the lakeshore and watching the sunset.
