Lake Causse is a beautiful place for a stroll, right in the heart of the Corrèze region, south of Brive-la-Gaillarde, very close to the Lot and Dordogne departments. There are plenty of activities to enjoy, such as walking, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, and rowing. The walk around the lake is pleasant and quite accessible, 7km without any major difficulties. There are also plenty of picnic tables.
