Tips from the Community
Small singletrack on the "sentier des métairies" trail, very nice and not too technical, descending to La Seignarié. A bit too broken for gravel in my opinion, prefer the forest track instead. Also watch out for hikers who might be coming up.

small crossing with the forest track and the métairies path as well as the puech d’Enblanc path (marker 7) beware of construction machinery during tree felling.

The lake is a 1930s project aimed at supplying drinking water to Mazamet and Aussillon. It was inaugurated on July 29, 1934, in the presence of the Mayor of each of these municipalities, as well as the Prefect of the Tarn region and the Minister of the Interior in the Doumergue government, Albert Sarraut. Over time, following changes in guidelines regarding water catchments, Mazamet's drinking water supply is now provided by the Pas des Bêtes. Currently, the dam supplies drinking water to Labrespy and the Montagnès leisure center. Since the dam's primary purpose is no longer to supply drinking water, this lake serves as a leisure center in the heart of the Montagne Noire. Adjacent to shops and activity centers such as mini-golf, floating playgrounds, and a treetop adventure park, the lake has become a must-see leisure destination for the residents of Mazamet, Aude, and Tarn. Swimming is permitted in part of the lake and is supervised from early July to late August. (Wikipedia)
