The lake of Louvain-la-Neuve, with a surface area of 7 ha, was dug out in 1984 to serve as a storm basin and fish pond. A footpath with a Finnish track along the lake serves as a walking and leisure route.

Lake Louvain-la-Neuve was created in 1984 as a fish pond and storm basin to prevent flooding in the lower part of the town and in the valley.
