Maroon Dam Lake

Maroon Dam Lake is one of the most beautiful artificial lakes in Iran, located in Behbahan County in the east of Khuzestan Province. The lake was formed after the construction of the Maroon Dam on the river of the same name, and it has become one of the most popular natural and recreational attractions in the region. The view of the surrounding mountains alongside the calm blue surface of the lake creates a delightful setting for nature lovers.

Besides supplying irrigation and drinking water to the surrounding areas, the Maroon Dam has in recent years become one of the main nature-tourism destinations in the south of the country. The area around the lake, especially in spring and early autumn, welcomes visitors who come for camping, fishing or boating. The mild weather and natural scenery make the lake even more attractive.

Given the hot climate of Khuzestan Province, the best time to visit Maroon Dam Lake is autumn, winter and early spring. In these seasons the weather is cooler and more pleasant, so there is more opportunity to enjoy nature and the recreational activities around the lake.
