Let's start by calming your excitement right away: as beautiful as this lake is, swimming is not allowed as reminded by Actu Lyon. Nevertheless, the Thurins dam lake remains an ideal destination for a summer stroll. Less than an hour from Lyon, this site offers a pleasant loop for nature lovers, with shady paths winding around the water. A perfect opportunity for a short hike, a family picnic, or a nap under the trees.

A historical and educational site

It's not just a quiet corner, it's also a hidden gem full of history. All around the dam, interpretive panels are set up to tell the story of the site, detail the landscapes, and showcase the local wildlife. An educational stroll that will delight the curious and nature enthusiasts. To make your visit even more enjoyable, the area is equipped with picnic tables and barbecues. Perfect for a friendly day out with friends or family. Dry toilets are also available, making the place even more convenient for an extended outing.
