Kızılçan Lake, or Canova Lake, is about 20 kilometers from Zara and 55 kilometers from Sivas, 4 kilometers south of the Sivas–Erzincan highway. It is one of the karstic doline-type lakes formed by water collecting in hollows created by dissolution in gypsum terrain. Because of its turquoise water, it is popularly called 'the evil-eye bead of Sivas' and has attracted photographers in recent years. Around it there are also similar small lakes such as Ağgöl and Karagöl. It can be visited on the same day as the Tödürge and Hafik lakes.
