Check out this spot in Codolet. Great location for swimming and paddling, cycling, boating, kayaking, canoeing and walking. Codolet is a small village situated in the Gard department of the Occitanie region in southern France. The area is rich in history, with numerous Roman sites nearby, including the famous Pont du Gard aqueduct. The village itself is surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills covered in orchards and olive groves. The scenery is picturesque and typical of the Provençal landscape, with fields of sunflowers and lavender in the summer. The Rhône River flows nearby, providing opportunities for boating and fishing. Overall, the area is peaceful and charming, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Frequently asked questions
Is this lake safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for surface state and wind conditions. Review the Quality tab if this is a designated bathing water. Always read recent community reports for local advice.
How cold is the water?
Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. Lakes hold heat longer than rivers but can develop a thermocline. The water below the surface can be dramatically colder.
What should I bring?
A tow float for visibility (especially important where boats operate), warm layers for after, and consider a wetsuit in colder months. Check for designated swimming areas.
