Lac de Pont, Artificial reservoir in Pont-et-Massène, France
The Pont Lake extends across 80 hectares, winding through wooded banks with a maximum width of 133 meters and depths reaching 24 meters.
The dam construction and lake formation between 1878 and 1882 established a water supply system for the Burgundy Canal transportation network.
The lake area serves as a central location for water activities, featuring a nautical club with facilities for wakeboarding and kayaking.
A pedestrian footbridge installed in 2018 enables visitors to complete a full 12-kilometer circuit around the lake perimeter.
The pumping station built in 1981 supplies 6000 cubic meters of drinking water daily to sixty surrounding municipalities.
