There are a few Karagol’s in different locations of  Turkey. Karagol, which I try to write about it, is in Sakarya’s, Tarakli district distance to district is 21 km. This is created as an artificial pond in Karagol Plateau although it is in a beautiful forest area does not look artificial. To come Karagol from Taraklı you should go to Mahdumlar Village side after a few junction you can reach the lake. I suggest you to ask way to the villager which you will passed. Mayor of Taraklı Mr. Tacettin Özkaraman said us that they still continuo water transfer to pond. They plan to put fresh water fish in the pond. Indeed, fishes are purchased already, but at the moment they have diseased fish were trying to improve. After a while here on the weekends you can go to fishing. When spring comes around, the lake surrounds by daisy like lacy. Lying on the grass here and watch the awakening of nature is very fun.

In general, the way of Karagol is ok but some places are soil however you can come with a normal passenger car. But, a few hundred meters away to Karagol there is a very bad place water comes to the way and makes a big hole on the way. I suggest you to live your car here and walk last 200-300 meters. When we been there Istanbul Technical University students bus were fall over but driver was so good and saved them.

Able to walk around the lake, but from time to time may have to switch from the forest often grows in some parts. In a place which we went the water was blocking passage, but we have put in here a tree, your bridge is ready for the next time. If you want to be in the nature for the weekend it is ideal place. But please take your foods from Taraklı otherwise you should go back 21 km. There is nothing to eat.
