Kurşunlu Waterfall
A waterfall inside a shaded nature park 19 km from Antalya. The flow turns to a trickle in summer, so timing decides what you see.
Kurşunlu Şelalesi sits inside a nature park about 19 km east of Antalya. You drive 12 km along the Antalya–Serik–Alanya highway, turn north, and follow a 7 km road to the end. The park is thick with pines and shade, making the short walk pleasant on hot days—if the waterfall has water.
The catch: the waterfall is seasonal. From late spring the flow shrinks, and by midsummer it's often just a damp rock face. Locals come in winter or early spring when the falls are full and the air is cool. Summer weekends fill with barbecuing families, so the quiet escape you might expect disappears.
A short loop trail circles the cascade and stream bed. Bring your own water; café prices can surprise you.
“To see a waterfall that actually flows—come when it has water, not when it's a trickle.”
Visit on a rainy winter weekday; summer weekends are packed with barbecuing families.
The path to the waterfall includes uneven steps and steep sections; not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers.
