Ce n\u2019est pas juste un lac, c\u2019est une petite folie naturelle qui m\u00eale teintes carib\u00e9ennes, aventures en plein air et instants suspendus.

Ce lac artificiel, n\u00e9 entre 1946 et 1954 apr\u00e8s la construction d\u2019un barrage, a englouti des pans entiers de for\u00eat, laissant derri\u00e8re lui un spectacle fascinant. Sous la surface, des pins de plus de 18 m\u00e8tres reposent toujours debout, comme fig\u00e9s dans le temps. Les amateurs de plong\u00e9e en bouteille ou en snorkeling peuvent ainsi d\u00e9river au-dessus d\u2019un <strong>paysage sous-marin<\/strong> unique, o\u00f9 troncs et branches cr\u00e9ent des jeux d\u2019ombre dignes d\u2019un d\u00e9cor de cin\u00e9ma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Et en surface ? C\u2019est un tableau mouvant. Les <strong>200 \u00eeles<\/strong> diss\u00e9min\u00e9es dans le lac sont autant de petits bouts de paradis \u00e0 explorer en kayak ou en paddle. On glisse entre deux berges bois\u00e9es, on d\u00e9couvre une crique secr\u00e8te, on accoste sur un bout de sable isol\u00e9. Ici, la nature ne se contente pas d\u2019\u00eatre belle : elle est immersive, g\u00e9n\u00e9reuse, pr\u00eate \u00e0 offrir ses secrets \u00e0 qui prend le temps de ralentir.

Les campeurs trouvent leur bonheur sur des sites rustiques ou am\u00e9nag\u00e9s, tandis que ceux qui pr\u00e9f\u00e8rent le confort optent pour les cabanes et lodges du parc.
