Eymir Lake is located approximately 20 kilometers from Ankara's city center. The lake was named after a Turkmen clan called Eymür, according to Seyyah Kandemir's papers released by the governorate of Ankara in 1932. 

The lake's shape is roughly similar to the letter S. Eymir Lake is a nature lover's paradise. This magnificent site draws those who wish to escape city life's traffic, noise, anxiety, and bustle by providing a tranquil and calm natural atmosphere. 

The lake is available to the public and has two entrances to the east and west. To reduce pollution and the risk of traffic accidents, only cars with special authorization are permitted to enter the lake region. On the other hand, the parking lots at both entrances are free to use.
