Established in 1993, the national park is Türkiye's largest national park with an area of about 88,750 hectares and extends across the Beyşehir and Hüyük districts. The lake is Türkiye's largest freshwater lake; it has many islands and is surrounded by juniper, black pine and cedar forests stretching to the Anamas mountains. It is an important resting area for waterbirds during migration periods. The Eflatunpınar Hittite monument and the day-use and camping areas on the shore are within the park's boundaries; the Kubadabad Palace is on the lake's southwest shore. Cycling and drives along the shore road and boat tours in the summer months are possible.
