Köprülü Kanyon National Park lies in the Manavgat district of Antalya, around the canyon of that name between Bolasan and Beşkonak, with the Köprü stream running through it. The canyon is fourteen kilometres long and a hundred metres deep, and at that length it is the longest in the country.
Within the park are cedar forests and rock formations resembling the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia. The old stone bridge over the Köprü stream is still in use.
Deer, wild goat, bear, fox, hare, badger and wolf live in the park. Because the fast-running Köprü stream carries a great deal of oxygen, trout are plentiful in it.
