Abstract:  

Berenjestanak Dam is a small scale dam with 3 million cubic meters capacity of its reservoir which operated in 1994 with the purpose of irrigating cultivated lands. The Dam is located in the forest area with access to the transit road of Tehran-Ghaemshahr City and a 7 km distance from Ghaemshahr city near the Caspian Sea. The Dam’s lake with 40 hectares area is surrounded by dense forests and in combination with Berenjestanak village in its neighborhood and sloping hills, creates unprecedented landscapes.

Being in a pristine forest area in the heart of natural resources, having fantastic forest landscapes, and enjoying the silence and tranquility of the environment has created a wonderful site for relaxation which could be designed for a very attractive tourist site.
