Yuvacik Dam
We started our trip to Yuvacık with the Yuvacık Dam, where we were fascinated by its emerald green color. Yuvacık Dam, also known as Kirazdere Dam, was put into service in 1999 to produce drinking water on the Kirazdere Stream.
The Yuvacık Dam, which meets the water needs of Kocaeli, is surrounded by lush forests, and the color of the dam lake is so beautiful to see and admire.
Swimming, fishing, barbecue and fires are prohibited in Yuvacık Dam. If you want to take a walk in the company of clean air and bird sounds, the 9-kilometer Camidüzü Yuvacık Dam hiking trail is waiting for you. You cannot enter the walking path by vehicle, you leave your vehicle in the parking lot.

What to Eat in Yuvacık?
After a nature trip in Yuvacık, it's time to feed our hungry stomachs! When you start to climb up the lake by passing through the lush forests, rows of places will draw your attention. Although Yuvacik is famous for its breakfast places, we had to skip the breakfast pleasure this time because we came in the evening. But I think we gave the right to the Yuvacik cruise by having a delicious dinner by the creek.
