115 km from Shiraz to Sepidan a lush river crosses between two mountains. Some parts of this river is narrowed by the verge of the two mountains, consequently water level rises and the resulting pressure causes some worth-visiting eddies.
Normally tourists dobt know this place .. its a little far from the shiraz . if you gather a group and find a local .. worth to go and see alittle nature of Fars Province. even for the swiming

The largest saltwater lake in the Middle East is located in the northwest of our beloved country, Iran, between the provinces of Western Azerbaijan and Eastern Azerbaijan. This lake is the famous Urmia Lake which is one of the most beautiful natural attractions in Iran and the largest lake in Iran. Unfortunately, due to global warming, lack of snow and rain, construction of highways on the lake, excessive use of water resources in the region and factors like this, the water of Lake Urmia has dried up.

The salt lake, includes a beautiful salt cover in the form of polygons, salt water puddles, salt mines in an area of 300km squared. The landscape is shiny and white, and a good place to make photos, while at night, you have the advantage of seeing milky way easily in the sky. Sometimes, the horizon gets pink in the time of sunset.
