Karamanastır Şelalesi Tabiat Parkı covers 98.80 hectares at the Kızılca village locality in the Bozyazı district of Mersin, declared on 1 June 2021. The Directorate's page opens by stating that the park is not yet operating.
The waterfall and its canyon valley lie on the Kazıklı stream, which descends from the Taşeli plateau and takes the name Sini Çayı closer to the town of Bozyazı. Most of the park falls within Bozyazı district, and everything that reaches it comes through that town.
The road matters here. From Bozyazı about six kilometres are asphalt; the rest, as far as the waterfall, is unsurfaced track, and the route follows the Kazıklı–Sini valley. The park is 26.8 kilometres from Bozyazı, 243.8 from Mersin and 351 from Antalya.
