Suuçtu Waterfall drops 38 m in a small nature park of 10 hectares in the Mustafakemalpaşa district, south-west of Bursa. It falls over granite and gneiss among beech, oak and pine, and supplies the town's drinking water. It is a regular stop on Bursa tours for Arab visitors and a popular picnic spot for locals. The fall formed when a fault line subsided under the Karadere stream near the village of Muradiyesarnıç, at about 464 m above sea level. Below it, the stream runs for 5 km past smaller natural cascades. The area was registered as a nature park on 11 July 2011, and records list 49 plant species along with wildlife such as foxes and wild boar. The waterfall is strongest in February and March, when it can reach 30 m wide in winter and 50 m in floods, with spray thrown far from the rocks below. By late summer the flow is much thinner. The park has short paths, wooden bridges, viewpoints, picnic tables, a restaurant and a prayer room. Autumn is also lovely, and many visitors come for the changing colours. The park lies 17 km from Mustafakemalpaşa town and 93 km by road from Bursa. There is no organised public transport, so it suits a car or a tour. The rocks near the water are wet, so wear suitable shoes and stay on the paths.
