Small pond, several centuries ago, this lake grew after the successive construction of forges, followed by that of a dam in 1927.

Located at an altitude of 350 meters, the site is drowned in the middle of forests and green meadows offering many stations open to night fishing (only the sectors located between the dam and the campsite are prohibited from fishing. night).

The lake is shallow with approximately 7 meters not far from the structure and an average of close to 3 meters.
