A national park dating from 1958 on the shore of the Aslantaş Dam Lake, protecting archaeological sites within pine forests.

Safety warning

Swimming in the reservoir is dangerous; lighting fires is prohibited during the fire season (June–October).

Its story

The park is on the shore of the Aslantaş Dam Lake on the Ceyhan River and includes the Karatepe and Domuztepe archaeological sites. Turkish pine forests, maquis and the lake view combine an archaeology trip with a nature walk. There are day-use rest areas on the lakeshore. It is one of the first national parks to protect cultural and natural assets together.
