It is a natural lake of glacial origin with a wild appearance. This lake will surprise you with its turquoise shores on a clear day and its cliffs in the background. It is otherwise known as Lake Ilay. With an area of 72 hectares and an average depth of ten meters, it is fed mainly by Lake Grand Maclu, to which it is connected by a small natural canal approximately 200 meters long. Possible activities: Hiking (tour of the three lakes/four lakes) and mountain biking (tour of the five lakes), horse riding, holiday activities and entertainment... Swimming is tolerated, under your own responsibility.

Lac de Chalain is the largest natural lake in the Jura. Of glacial origin, this lake covers the entire bottom of the Chalain valley with turquoise, which marks a long breakthrough on the second plateau of the Jura massif.

The towns of Fonttenu, Marigny, Doucier, installed on the edges or the heights of the lake offer very beautiful points of view, peaceful beaches, campsites at the edge of the water, hiking trails. It is one of the most beautiful lakes in the country of Jura lakes and waterfalls.
