Kartal Gölü Nature Conservation Area may not be entered without permission; the directorate says so in a separate notice. It covers 1,343 hectares and was declared on 23 December 1994.
Two things in one basin explain the protection. The first is what the directorate calls a monument forest, made up of old black pine trees. The second is Kartal Gölü itself, a lake lying in a glacial valley near the summit of Çiçekbaba mountain, in the alpine zone.
The area sits within the administrative boundaries of the Eskere Forest Management Directorate under the Denizli Regional Directorate.
