Water Lily Lake

Water Lily Lake, also known as the Water Lily Wetland, is located in the city of Sari in Mazandaran Province. Covering about 40 hectares, this wetland is one of the most beautiful and unique natural attractions in Iran. One reason for the lake's name is its three beautiful ponds, whose surfaces are covered with water lilies. These ponds are natural, and one of them has about 2 hectares of water lily flowers.

Besides water lilies, the wetland is home to a variety of plant and animal species. Plants found in the wetland include reed, cattail, sedge and others. The wetland is also a suitable habitat for migratory and aquatic birds such as ducks, geese and swans. The fish living in the lake include carp, grass carp (amur) and silver carp (phytophagous fish).

The best time to travel to Sari and visit Water Lily Park is spring and summer. The water lilies bloom and open in the month of Tir (late June to late July). You can travel to Sari to see these flowers at the lake at any time during the summer, but the flowers are at their most beautiful in Tir. The park has gazebos, a supermarket, a restaurant and facilities such as restrooms. In addition to its natural beauty, Water Lily Lake offers various recreational activities, including photography and picnicking.
