Sisangan Forest Park

Sisangan Forest Park is one of the most outstanding natural attractions in Mazandaran Province. Combining dense Hyrcanian forests with the calm shore of the Caspian Sea, it offers visitors a different kind of nature travel experience. Located 27 kilometers along the Nowshahr–Nur road, the park covers more than 600 hectares. It is bordered by the sea to the north and the Alborz heights to the south, and its location makes it easily accessible for travelers.

Sisangan Park was established in 1344 (1965) to protect rare plant species, especially the evergreen Hyrcanian boxwoods, and today it is considered one of the most important biological reserves in northern Iran. The region has diverse vegetation, including oak, maple, alder and Persian ironwood (anjili). Together with birdsong and the humid forest air, it creates a delightful and soothing atmosphere for nature lovers.

Another distinctive feature of Sisangan Forest Park is its wide range of recreational facilities: from walking along forest trails and family picnics to beach activities such as swimming, jet skiing, boating, beach volleyball and even an amusement park for children. This variety makes the park an ideal destination for family trips and nature tourism in spring and summer. The best time to visit Sisangan Park is spring, especially the months of Ordibehesht and Khordad, when the region's nature is at its freshest and the pleasant weather provides ideal conditions for sightseeing and recreation.
