    Hiking

    This beautiful dam lake was built in 1939 on the course of the Spring River. It owes its name to Philip Sheridan. A career officer in the American army, the general was sadly known for his practice of scorched earth. Both during the Civil War and during the Indian Wars. This lake has numerous infrastructures and is very pleasant, especially for its campsites.
