ル・グラン・マクルのおすすめライド

The smaller of the two Maclu Lakes, with an easy hiking trail along its shore.

A waterfall with a larger pool and a smaller cascade in a beautiful setting. In front of it is a small stone lynx statue.

Lacs de Maclu are two adjacent lakes in the western part of the French Jura, in the Jura department of Franche-Comté. They are located at an elevation of 779 m in a depression in the High Jura, in the region of the Five Lakes near Le Frasnois, about 12 km south of Champagnole. The Petit Maclu, located to the northeast, has an area of 5 hectares, a length of about 500 m, and a maximum width of about 120 m. Its greatest depth is 11 m. It lies entirely within the municipal territory of Le Frasnois.

Beautiful view of the lake, and afterward, we had a lovely swim in the lake. Nice bar with delicious ice cream.

Easy, shaded path, perfect for cooling off in hot weather.

Just off the road worth a stop to see all the foot prints.

Watch out for Ice in the winter, can you find the secret waterfall ?

On most maps it is called "Lac d’Ilay". The other name probably comes from the small island "Île de la Motte" which is located in the lake.
