Heydarkola Wetland

Heydarkola Wetland, also known as Water Lily Park (Niloufar Abi Park), is located on the eastern ring road of Babol County in Mazandaran Province. Covering an area of more than 34 hectares, it is one of the largest wetlands within the urban area of the province. Its water is supplied by the Agharud River and its branches. The water lilies floating on the surface of the wetland, together with migratory and rare birds, create spectacular scenery that draws many visitors to the area every year, especially in summer.

Heydarkola Wetland plays an important role in supplying agricultural water to three surrounding districts, which makes it vital for local residents as well. At certain times of the year, especially during the fishing season, the wetland also becomes a popular spot for recreational anglers. Families from Babol also use the area for recreation and leisure. The peaceful atmosphere, unspoiled natural scenery and the presence of rare birds make this place a delightful destination for nature lovers.

With good facilities such as a boating pier, a prayer room, a traditional teahouse restaurant, a children's playground, family gazebos and even horse riding, Water Lily Park offers visitors a complete and varied day out in nature. Besides its ecological value, the wetland offers a rare chance to experience the calm and beauty of nature in the heart of Mazandaran. The wetland is accessible via Babol's eastern ring road, and it can be visited in all seasons, though the best time is from late Khordad to early Mehr. To protect the beauty and health of the environment, please do not leave litter or harm plants and wildlife, and stay on the designated paths during your visit.
