A slightly more extensive photo gallery with further pictures of this beautifully situated pond has been uploaded by hikers to the (sport-related) highlight; their pictures of "Lac de Cammazes" can be accessed via the following link =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/5578133

The Cammazes Dam is located in the Montagne Noire massif in the Tarn department. It provides a drinking water reserve for the municipalities around Revel. Built between 1954 and 1957 and commissioned in 1958, the Cammazes Dam is located on the Sor River, between the municipalities of Cammazes and Sorèze in the Tarn department, and the municipality of Saissac in the Aude department. It forms Lake Cammazes, which also receives excess water from the mountain channel via the Conquet spillway. The structure is intended for drinking water supply and irrigation. It supplies 200 municipalities, representing over 170,000 inhabitants. The surface area of the body of water is approximately 90 hectares. Its reservoir volume is 18.8 million cubic meters; the watershed area is 30 km². The operator is the Montagne Noire Water Institution. The water is piped to the Picotalen treatment plant. It also serves as a reserve for the Canal du Midi via a water intake feeding the mountain channel (water rights of 4 million cubic meters) (Wikipedia)

The calm of its deep waters

Nice and not very difficult unless there is an Autan wind

Superb and impressive, one of the 6 (main) lakes of the Montagne Noire, do not miss following the forest track which runs along its right bank.

The Rigole de la Montagne Noire is very pleasant to ride, ideal for a bucolic and family ride. Very shaded, do not miss the detour to the Lampy.

SUPERB PATH, GOOD RIDE NO DIFFICULTY.

The Bassin du Lampy Neuf is a dam built to supply water to the Canal du Midi via the Rigole de la Montagne Noire. Originally the basin was located on the current site of Lampy Vieux but it was moved between 1777 and 1781, a hundred years after the creation of the Canal du Midi.
