A wetland nature area around the Karasu Stream in the village of Bulakbaşı in Karakoyunlu, fed by spring waters said to come from Mount Ağrı.

Safety warning

It is within village and farmland; do not enter private property or irrigation channels. It is close to the border; before visiting, check current access and security conditions with the local authorities (governorship/district governorate, gendarmerie), and do not go outside the marked areas.

Its story

The springs in the village of Bulakbaşı feed the Karasu Stream with waters that local people believe come from Mount Ağrı. The wetland formed by the springs is an important habitat for birds such as wild ducks and storks, as well as for fish and aquatic plants. The water also meets the irrigation and drinking water needs of the surrounding villages. At this spot, which stays green amid the arid landscape of the Iğdır Plain, a short nature walk and birdwatching are possible. Although the area is referred to as a 'national park' in some promotions, it does not appear on the national park list of the General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks.
