Lac de la Plaine is a picturesque lake in the Vosges, located near Celles-sur-Plaine, near the larger Lac de Pierre-Percée. The lake is an artificial water reservoir of about 0.5 million m³ and serves as a supply basin for the reservoir above.

Pierre-Percée is a small mountain village in the east of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department, on the edge of the Vosges Mountains. With fewer than 100 inhabitants, it is one of the smallest communes in the region. Situated on the edge of the Plaine Valley, the village is built at the foot of the ruins of the medieval Château de Pierre-Percée, which once belonged to the Counts of Salm. The village's name refers to a 33-meter-deep well carved into the rock beneath the castle. During the Thirty Years' War, the village, like the castle, was largely destroyed. In the 20th century, Pierre-Percée regained significance with the construction of the EDF reservoir and the creation of a recreation area, which today attracts tourists for hiking, water sports, and nature experiences.

Pictures do not do justice to this lake and nearby hikes. Free parking serves as a good start to different hiking routes.

This memorial commemorates the dead of the First World War as well as the citizens of Pierre-Percée who died in other wars.

Magnificent panoramas, technical trail with some passages to be passed with caution

This 304-hectare lake, with its 32 kilometers of shores located on the foothills of the Vosges, is the ideal place for hiking, swimming and enjoying various activities.

Beautiful circular walk. With parking spaces for RVs/campers, great bathing bays on the lake

Very beautiful overall views of the lake from the dam, especially in autumn. Beautiful view also of the rear of the dam with the Vosges in the background. The adjoining parking lot allows you to start the hike from this point as well. Under a large shelter next to it, information on large panels tells the history of the dam.
