Excellent lake

Amazing place to visit. The car park is free and there is plenty of parking. The beach is lovely and very clean. The water is clear and great for swimming in. The areas for swimming are sectioned off and there is a shallow area of...More

Just like the seaside!

Pretty beach with good facilities for young and old alike. Easy to park and walk around. Safe swimming, children’s play areas, good priced food and snacks, cold beer etc!

Not a lot to do

Since it's updating the Lac de Gurson has little to offer apart from a small playground, a small beach and swimming. Unfortunately, it has lost a lot of its appeal. Disappointed.

Nice stroll around the lake

Lovely beach, not too crowded. Couple of restaurants, kayaks, fishing, etc. Unfortunately fishing equipment is not available to hire. Small mountain bike park, holiday chalets, camping, and a couple of rather sad-looking tennis courts. We took a walk around the lake - about 40 minutes...More

Great place to swim in the hot summer

Nice lake with a man-made beach for swimming. New facilities for changing etc. and all very well kept. The cafe and the sort-of restaurant next door provide parasols for shade and apparently the fish and chips is very good! We parked in the (free) camping...More

Stunning lake

A beautiful place which was a joy to relax in... The large wooden sun beds suitable for 2+ adults were a nice touch. Would love to go again in Summer when the boats are available

Can you take dogs?

August 1, 2017|

Answer

Hi! Yes you can take dogs but they are not allowed on the beach. There are plenty of wooden tables and benches in the picnic areas where you can go with a dog and you can take them to the café and walk around the lake.

Hi has anyone had any experience swimming in this lake? I am looking to do some triathlon training whilst on holiday and so would like to know how far is a lap of the lake, if it's safe to swim in etc. Thanks.

Hi again. Like I said yesterday the swimming and boating areas are separate and I confirmed that you can't swim in the boating area for safety reasons. Probably not the answer you were hoping for, but that's what it is I'm... More
