Lake Vouglans is located on Jura’s first
plateau (alt 429m) between Orgelet and
Moirans en Montagne. With a length of
35 km and an average width of 450m,
it is France’s third largest artificial lake.

The lake is divided into three zones:

• Zone A, essentially for fishing.

• Zone B, reserved for “high speed water
sports such as jet skiing and water-skiing.

• Zone C, the area for the more gentle
water sports such as sailing, canoeing
and rowing.

The lake has three extensive beaches
which are developed and supervised:
Mercantine, Bellecin and Surchauffant.
