About

Experience this spot in Saint-Paul-en-Cornillon. Great location for water skiing, wake boarding, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, supping and wind surfing. Saint-Paul-en-Cornillon is a small commune in the Loire department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in southeastern France. The village is situated in the heart of the Pilat Regional Natural Park, on the eastern slopes of the Massif Central mountain range. The area is characterized by rolling hills covered in dense forests of oak, beech, and pine trees, interspersed with meadows and small villages. The scenery is picturesque with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and the Rhône River in the distance. The village itself is quaint, with narrow streets lined with traditional stone houses, a Romanesque church, and a small square. It's a peaceful and tranquil place perfect for hiking, cycling or simply relaxing amidst the stunning natural beauty of the region.

Frequently asked questions

Is this lake safe for swimming?

Check the Conditions tab for surface state and wind conditions. Review the Quality tab if this is a designated bathing water. Always read recent community reports for local advice.

How cold is the water?

Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. Lakes hold heat longer than rivers but can develop a thermocline. The water below the surface can be dramatically colder.

What should I bring?

A tow float for visibility (especially important where boats operate), warm layers for after, and consider a wetsuit in colder months. Check for designated swimming areas.
