You can cycle all the way around the lake on paths and wooden bridges, although it can get busy with bathers, walkers and other cyclists.

Settons Lake Dam

Highlight • Structure

While other dams have a very specific shape, designed to withstand enormous water pressures, this dam was built in a pyramid shape. The water pressure exerted on this dam is restrained by the weight of the structure itself. It has a twin dam nearby. This dam was completed in 1858 and was one of the most formidable dams of its day.

This waterfall indeed falls on an old fault which leads to this fall of 10 meters high. It's buried in the woods and you'll hear it before you see it. There are also two old mills nearby. One produced flour and the other oil.

Gouloux Waterfall

Highlight • Other

The Gouloux jump is a cute little waterfall. You have to take a one kilometer path to get to this natural site. A sign along the road tells you its location.
