Mirash Lake

Mirash Lake, also known as the Mirash Artificial Lake, is a small mountain lake in the Taleqan region of Alborz Province. It lies near the village of Mirash, on the slopes of the Alborz Mountains. The lake is fed by small rivers that flow down from the surrounding highlands. Because of its mountain location, the lake has a cool, mild climate in the warm seasons and cold, snowy weather in winter. The best time to visit the area is summer, which is also the best time for swimming, boating and other water activities on the lake.

Thanks to its mountain setting and mild climate, Mirash Lake has a high level of biodiversity. The area is home to many kinds of plants and wild animals, each with its own beauty and role in the lake's ecosystem. The surroundings of Mirash Lake are covered with forest trees such as oak, alder, hornbeam, maple and walnut. In the shade of the trees grow various shrubs and bushes, such as blackberry, barberry, wild sour cherry and damask rose. The lake is also a habitat for many species of birds, such as ducks, geese, swans, storks, falcons, eagles and pigeons. Around the lake you can see mammals such as wild boar, hares, foxes, wolves, leopards and jackals. The waters of Mirash Lake are home to various kinds of fish, such as trout, carp, bream and zardak.
