Lake of Dez dam is one of the most beautiful lakes in Iran, behind the two mountains Shadab and Tenguan, and has provided a beautiful view to the area. Lake Dez Dam, which is currently one of the fifty long world dams, has several small islands, on which a lot of trees and almonds have given a special effect to the lake, while at the same time the lake is a good place for doing water sports such as Sailing, skiing, swimming, and more.
These sights include the deep alluvial valleys, fertile springs, hills (Mounds), sandstone cliffs and small and large islands.
The large island, in the middle of the lake with an area of 60,000 square meters, has created a beautiful landscape.
It is interesting to know that the proximity of Shahyoun region with the Zagros Mountains in the north and the hot plain of Khuzestan in the south has caused the climate of this region to be different and unique. When the wind blows from the northwest, the temperature is mild in summer and cold in winter, but the wind from the southeast causes the region to have hot summers and mild winters.
The islands of Lake Shahyoun in Dezful have a variety of vegetation, most of which are covered with almond trees. In addition, various animal species such as foxes, partridges, rabbits and seabirds live in this area and even leopards have been seen in some special areas.
Many locals are doing water sports such as Sailing, skiing, swimming and even jumping off cliffs into the lake. Others spend their day picnicking by the clear water of the lake area. Others can sit in a corner and fish if they succeed to fry and eat.
The best time to visit this area is late winter and early spring, especially in April.
Address: Khuzestan Province, Dezful city, 23 km northeast of Andimeshk.
