Lac d'Oô, Mountain lake in Haute-Garonne, France.

The lake stretches across 42 hectares at an elevation of 1507 meters, reaching depths of up to 67 meters in the French Pyrenees.

Originally named Lake Séculéjo until the 19th century, the current dam structure was completed in 1921 to generate hydroelectric power.

Painter Louis-François Lejeune captured the lake's landscape in 1834, contributing to its early artistic documentation in French mountain scenery.

The GR10 hiking trail leads visitors from the Granges d'Astau parking area to the lake through a one-hour walk on marked paths.

The lake functions as a 13 cubic hectometer reservoir, powering a 30-megawatt hydroelectric plant while supporting local trout populations.
