It is a natural lake of glacial origin with a wild appearance. This lake will surprise you with its turquoise shores on a clear day and its cliffs in the background. It is otherwise known as Lake Ilay. With an area of 72 hectares and an average depth of ten meters, it is fed mainly by Lake Grand Maclu, to which it is connected by a small natural canal approximately 200 meters long. Possible activities: Hiking (tour of the three lakes/four lakes) and mountain biking (tour of the five lakes), horse riding, holiday activities and entertainment... Swimming is tolerated, under your own responsibility.

On most maps it is called "Lac d’Ilay". The other name probably comes from the small island "Île de la Motte" which is located in the lake.
