Kyapaz lake in Ganja is one of the must visit sites while you are in Ganja. For its brilliant natural scenic beauty and idyllic surroundings, Kyapaz lake is regarded as one of the most well known tourist attractions in Ganja.

The 1139 earthquake opened the distinctive rocky peak of the Mount Kyapaz and disgorged a huge mass of rock obstructing the mountain streams in several places. This created a string of seven mountain lakes in the region and these are known as the Kyapaz lakes in Gance. The lakes are also known as the 'tears of Kyapaz'. Among the Kyapaz lakes two lakes are more famous then the rest. The Goy Gol or the Blue Lake was a camping retreat popular with the tourists. The Maral Gol or the 'Deer Lake' is relatively secluded than the other water bodies. Also, there are the Zali Gol or the Leech Lake and Sara Gol or the Yellow Lake among the Kyapaz lakes, Gance.
