Lac de Caniel

Lac de Caniel, Artificial lake in Clasville, France.

Lac de Caniel spans approximately 50 hectares at 14 meters elevation, creating a recreational water body surrounded by open landscapes in the Seine-Maritime department of Normandy.

The lake was formed from a former ballast quarry used during the early 20th century construction of the railway line connecting Le Havre to Dieppe.

The lake lies between Vittefleur, Clasville and Cany-Barville, and its leisure base is shared by these communes. Visitors see dinghy sailing, canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing and a cable water-ski tow in use, alongside a summer toboggan run and a mini-golf course. The site is a former ballast pit, and the source notes doubt over whether its stone went into the Le Havre–Dieppe railway, since the ground appears intact on 1952 photographs.

The leisure base operates year-round with free access, offering water sports, beach facilities, mini-golf, summer toboggan runs, and restaurant services during seasonal hours.

The lake lies between Vittefleur, Clasville and Cany-Barville, and its leisure base runs a cable water-ski tow plus canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing and dinghy sailing. A summer toboggan run and a minigolf course stand beside the water, so the site works for non-skiers too.
