Jorband Lake

Jorband Lake is one of the beautiful and pristine natural attractions of Mazandaran Province, in Nur County, Chamestan District. It lies near the village of Jorband, in the heart of the dense Hyrcanian forests. With its clear water and lush, peaceful scenery, the lake is a delightful destination for nature lovers and attracts many visitors, especially in spring and summer. Surrounded by green nature and the songs of forest birds, with diverse vegetation and a shoreline view of forest meeting water, it offers visitors a different and unforgettable experience of northern Iran's nature.

Jorband Lake is in fact a natural forest lake, fed by springs upstream, with small streams flowing out of it. The lake is surrounded by forests of beech, oak, hornbeam, alder and other species, which together with wild blackberry bushes, medicinal plants and colorful flowers create attractive scenery. This pristine environment offers visitors the chance to enjoy nature walks, nature photography, picnics and even camping. However, swimming in the lake is not recommended because of its uneven depth and thick mud.

To reach Jorband Lake, head toward the town of Chamestan and continue from there to the village of Jorband. After parking your car, you need to walk about 10 to 20 minutes along an easy forest trail to reach the water's edge. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when the weather is mild and the landscape is lush, and it is better suited to making use of the surrounding facilities such as camping and picnicking. Practicing responsible nature tourism, including keeping the area clean, not leaving litter and respecting natural habitats, helps ensure that this beautiful landscape remains sustainable for future generations.
