Chaumeçon Dam

Highlight • Monument

This dam was built in the 1930s and is not a towering feature like some dams, but the views from this shot of the lake it creates are stunning with islands and forests.

The field bridge is a particularly interesting place. Depending on the water levels dictated by the lake's dam, this place goes from totally flooded to sandy banks and, if left empty long enough... grass grows.

A treat on the go. The perfect place for an extended photo stop. Or lunch. It's just what you like.

November 7, 2025,Le réservoir de Chaumeçon - boucle dans le parc naturel régional du Morvan

A very beautiful hike, especially in the fall. HOWEVER, part of the hike is on a road (with little sidewalk on either side) and there's also a bridge to cross without a pedestrian walkway... I don't recommend it if you have children with you as it's not very safe.
