Twelve kilometers to the north of manavgat, lies the Oymapinar dam constructed between 1977-1984. This is the fifth largest dam in Turkey and the only dam to offer fishing and boat trips. In 1980s it was third largest dam, but as other dams were constructed, it reached the fifth position. The power station at the Oymanpinar dam has four underground turbines with a capacity of 540 megawatts, which produce 3% of the Turkish electricity. The dam is 185 meters tall, 30 meters thick at the base and 5 meters at the top. When the lake is full, the water reaches depths of 200 meters.

Fishing can be done in this dam on request. After the exquisite boat ride to green canyon, the boat returns back to the shore.
