Sentiers nautiques

Come glide and discover the water trails created by the YCGC! Discover the lake's treasures in a unique way! A sporting and nature adventure for young and old. This offering is certified as a "Water Trails" by the French Federation.

The YCGC has developed "Nautical Trails" routes: these are ecotourism paddle routes that highlight the historical or natural heritage of Lake Paladru, using waterproof maps. Be attentive and observe the fauna, flora and remarkable spots of our lake heritage!
Ask during your visit, these cards are loaned free of charge.

3 nautical trails are thus offered to you:

The "Heritage" nautical trail highlights remarkable sites on Lake Paladru, such as the submerged archaeological site at the bottom of the lake, located at a place called Colletière. This site is known for the quality of its remains and is surrounded by legends that you will discover. It's an ideal outing to complement your visit to the Archaeological Museum of Lake Paladru.
