Safety warning
Its story
Sapanca Gölü is a tectonic lake formed in a depression on the North Anatolian Fault Line. It stretches between the forested slopes of the Samanlı Mountains to the south and farmland to the north. As the lake is an important drinking water source for Adapazarı and its surroundings, it is protected. The walking and cycling paths along the shore, picnic areas and lakeside recreation spots draw visitors year-round. In autumn, the changing colors of the surrounding forests and the mist on the lake's surface make it the best season for photographers.
