Lac de Saint-Agnan, Artificial lake in Morvan Regional Nature Park, France.
Lac de Saint-Agnan is an artificial lake in the Morvan park region surrounded by forests and meadows in Burgundy. The water fills a large basin in upland terrain where several small streams flow together.
The basin was completed in 1969 as the final major water control project in a series of dams built across the region for flood management. These structures were part of a plan to develop the mountain region more effectively.
The area draws visitors interested in birdwatching and discovering local plant life, especially in the flat woodland around the shoreline. Nature here is a significant part of what people experience and appreciate today.
A flat walking path of about 10 kilometers circles the water, suitable for both walking and cycling. This route connects several stopping points and rest areas where visitors can pause or have a picnic.
The basin is fed by two separate rivers that meet underwater and then flow onward as a single stream. This interaction of waterways is often overlooked by visitors walking around the shore.
