Its story
Gökpınar Lake, about 10 kilometers from the Gürün district center, is a small but deep lake fed by karstic springs; its depth is around 15 meters. The sky-like blue-turquoise color of its water gave the lake its name (gök: sky). Thanks to its clarity, the water plants at the bottom and the swimming fish can easily be seen from the shore. The lake was first protected as a natural protected site and was declared a nature park on 24 July 2025 by the General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks. Its shore, laid out with wooden viewing piers and walking areas, is an easy day-trip stop for families.
