Lac de Pierre-Percée: a natural escape in the heart of the Vosges mountains
Lac de Pierre-Percée, the jewel in the crown of the Meurthe-et-Moselle region, invites you to discover its 300 hectares of water and 32 kilometres of woodland. Nicknamed "the little Canada of Lorraine" because of its maple-leaf shape, this artificial lake plunges you into a North American atmosphere, between forests and hills.
A wild and mysterious territory
Located in the south-east of the Meurthe-et-Moselle region, near Baccarat, famous for its crystal glassworks, the Pierre-Percée lake stands out for its wild beauty. Set among fir trees, its shores are a veritable spectacle, where nature reigns supreme. With a depth of up to 80 metres, this body of water, perched at 387 metres, is one of the largest man-made lakes in Lorraine. Its impressive dam, built by EDF between 1981 and 1985, is a testament to human ingenuity for nature.
Activities to suit all tastes
The Pierre-Percée lake is a real playground. Explore its shores on foot, mountain bike or horseback on the 35 kilometres of signposted trails that wind through the Vosges forest. For thrill-seekers, the adventure park offers zip lines and bungee jumps overlooking the water.
Envy of an aquatic escape? Hire a canoe to explore the lake or relax on a stand-up paddle. Prefer to relax by the lake? The lake is a quiet area where the use of combustion engines is banned, making it an ideal place to relax and fish. If you're lucky, you'll catch pike, perch or even whitefish, a species unique to the region.
A protected ecosystem
The Lac de Pierre-Percée is much more than just a water reservoir; it's a rich ecosystem where flora and fauna live side by side. Mallards, grey herons, great crested grebes and others enliven the banks and skies.
