Mirsafa Forest Park

Mirsafa Forest Park is one of the most prominent natural and recreational spaces in the city of Lahijan, in Gilan Province. It lies in the southeast of the city, on the green slopes of Shaytan Kuh. Although the park sits within Lahijan's urban fabric, it has kept its forest and natural character and is known as one of the most important green retreats in the region. Its position next to the heights, and the natural flow of humid Caspian air, give the park dense vegetation and tall, leafy trees, creating a calm and secluded setting for visitors.

Beyond its natural value, Mirsafa is also a complete recreational complex, offering a variety of facilities for spending leisure time in the heart of nature. Gazebos, seating areas, walking paths, a children's playground, a volleyball court, a café, a restaurant and even an artificial waterfall and cave make it one of the best-equipped forest parks in Lahijan. The combination of dense forest and urban amenities gives visitors a balanced experience of nature tourism and family recreation, and has made the park a popular destination among domestic travellers.

Mirsafa Forest Park is easily reached from inside Lahijan via Shaghayegh Street. Thanks to its urban location, it can be visited at any hour of the day or night, and no entrance fee is required. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when the vegetation is at its greenest and the pleasant local climate is ideal for walking and relaxing. Autumn also gives the park a different and very striking look, with the warm, varied colours of the trees. Following the principles of responsible nature tourism, such as keeping the environment clean, not damaging the vegetation and using public facilities properly, plays an important role in preserving the quality of this urban retreat.
