Chitgar – The Largest Artificial Lake in Iran

The lake of Chitgar is one of the latest tourist attractions in Tehran, Iran. The lake is surrounded by an outdoor resort, one which is frequented by many visitors.

The lake is fed by an inflow of water from the Ghadimiyeh River.

About 80% of the lake’s water comes from the Kan Creek, with the rest of it coming from central areas and local surface runoff.

The total area of this complex is about 250 hectares. The lake itself is 130 hectares, while the remaining amount consists of the shoreline and the resort areas.
