great place to visit. relaxing, relatively close to the city center. yiu can get your picnic and have barbecue there. the best thing is that you can enter basically everywhere in the forest by car. lots of walking and biking trails. affordable at 22 tl per car. of course you enter in foot or by bike as well. the lake is nice and there some rental tables and lots of woods space to hang out and get some fresh air. not crowded as well as it is quite spacious. definitely worth it

It is usually flooded by people. There are lots of (paid) tables where you can prepare your own food and eat, but it is hard to find a decent one at weekends. You need to pay for the barbecue as well. They usually bring it to your table but the last time it was too crowded that we had to carry it.

Nice location Very good for Picnic

nice view, beautiful forest, fresh weather

Well i did not like it, so sorry.

İt is a hidden place in the middle of Yakacık Hills. Too crowded and badly decorated. Entrance fee is ridiculous.

Good place for family camps and young camps , good for 4 seasons , like Belgran forest but in east of Istanbul .

It's a secret garden in middle of istanbul. don't forget to take cash with yourself.

A very suitable place to touch nature, forest and beautiful reservoir. Suitable for hiking and camping. Access and being in the middle of the city is one of the positive points. The negative points are the lack of toilets, damaged roads and, most importantly, the lack of signposts. Many roads can only be crossed with an off-road vehicle, and most of the routes cannot be covered by a normal car. In general, it is a natural and beautiful environment. There are a few restaurants, but the potential is to create more amenities.

It was nice place and not crowded, but we didn’t find wc 🚽

I loved the place. Everything is available here.
