Its story
The Yamula Dam was built on the Kızılırmak near Yemliha, about 25 km northwest of Kayseri, and began to hold water on 27 December 2003. The lake area of the dam, built for energy and irrigation, is about 85 km² at normal water level. The Kayseri Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism counts the lake's shores extending to the Kocasinan and Felahiye boundaries, especially the Kuşçu–Çevril–Emmiler route, among the places to visit. The lake shores are mentioned among areas suitable for caravans and camping.
