    Tips

    Mountain biking

    Lake Sylvan is a pretty reservoir that attracts a lot of people in summer, as its shores made up of granite chaos are so photogenic. You can practice swimming, but also do some rock climbing on these large rocks that overlook the calm water. You can also picnic (there are tables) but also indulge in idleness on its beaches. A perfect place to rest, especially after a long hike or bike ride.
