Toshan Lake

South of the city of Gorgan, in Anjirab Rural District at the foot of Mount Toshan, lies a village with beautiful scenery. Toshan Lake, also known as Abbandan, sits at an elevation of 250 meters above sea level and is 300 meters long, on the southern edge of this lush village. The lake is actually a historic earth dam, fed by the Dobrar spring near the Alangdareh Forest, and it is surrounded on three sides by forest and pasture. Its position beside the Alangdareh forest areas, the colorful fish in its clear water, its closeness to the city of Gorgan and more have made this attraction one of the most popular destinations.

Toshan Lake lies at the foot of Mount Toshan and has a mild climate. You can therefore visit the lovely city of Gorgan and Toshan Lake in any month of the year, and enjoy the scenery around the lake in every season.
