Lac Noir, reservoir in France
Lac Noir is a reservoir in the Vosges mountains, situated in a high valley surrounded by forested slopes. The water is held back by a dam and serves purposes related to hydroelectric power generation and water management for the region.
The lake was created through the construction of a dam that captured natural water flows in the Vosges. The facility was developed to harness water power for industrial supply across this mountain region.
The area is best explored on foot, as hiking trails make the reservoir accessible from various vantage points. The terrain is hilly and weather can change quickly, so appropriate gear is advisable.
The water of this lake has a dark tone that gives it its name, stemming from its depth and surrounding geology. This characteristic coloring makes it visually distinct from other lakes in the region.
