Makhrage Lake

One of the areas that attract the attention of tourists in Iran is the Makhrage lake of Shahr-e Babak city, Kerman province, which is considered the largest natural mirror in Iran.

In the past, Makhrageh used to have three rivers of northern, western, and eastern Qantas, and traces are still existing in the region, as well as an old castle. These ruins show that there has been a great deal of urban development and history that we do not have accurate information about.

The water of the wells in the Makhrageh area is salty due to its proximity to the saline lake. The source of freshwater in the area of the Habib Allah Khani River flows only during rainfall and is dry in all seasons.

In every season of the year, sweet water flows out of this river with a thirty-centimeter ditching. This part of the river, known as the Riz-Ab, is located in the ChahKali area, and its water is cool and gourmet in the hot summer.

The most important natural occurrence is the Makhrageh salt lake, which is unmatched in its type and sometimes referred to as the Chah Zangar Lake.

This lake is located 3 km south-east of Makhrageh, with an area of more than 15 square km, and is fed by the rivers and streams, the mountains of Chah Pouzeh, Chah Madan, Cheshmeh Anjir, Chah Gaz, Chah Khoshk, Pir Quchan, Haft-Kouh and the terrain hills of the region.
