Close to the banks of the Loire, the Chêne lake is a very pleasant natural wooded site. The site is ideal for swimming, relaxing and outdoor pursuits. Bring your picnic, your pétanque balls… and your swimming costume. Come and cool off and relax!
Oudon Lake is the ideal spot whether you’re keen on swimming, walking or fishing. This small lake offers lovely walking trails and a pleasant place to swim. Set in peaceful surroundings, you’ll find shaded picnic tables and play areas for children. The site has all the facilities you need to enjoy a pleasant time with family or friends (toilets, a secure play area, benches to rest on, a supervised swimming area, a pétanque court, and more).
Perfect for walks with friends or family, a 1.5km footpath runs alongside the lake in lush, relaxing surroundings. The whole family can get together here, promising wonderful memories.
The lake is open all year round. However, the swimming area is supervised from 1 July to 31 August each year (Tuesday to Sunday inclusive, from 2 pm to 7 pm) by lifeguards. Outside this period, swimming is prohibited. In all cases, young children remain the responsibility of their parents.
/!\ Swimming may sometimes be prohibited even during the summer, depending on the results of water quality tests. Before heading there to swim, check whether swimming is permitted on the town hall’s website or by calling the town hall.
The Oudon lake is open to anglers: it is home to a good population of pike, zander, perch, carp, roach and other species. Disabled access and parking facilities enable anglers with reduced mobility to easily reach the jetty, which has been specially adapted for them. Fishing permits can be purchased from ‘L’Ablette Oudonnaise’ at the Carrefour Express in Oudon (150 Rue de la Loire) or from the Oudon Tourist Office (11 Rue du Pont-Levis).
Some practical information:
– Lifeguards are on duty in the swimming area from 1 July to 31 August each year (Tuesday to Sunday inclusive, from 2 pm to 7 pm)
– Dogs on a lead are permitted throughout the site.
– The Chemin du Rio car park offers plenty of parking spaces, some of which are shaded. For cyclists, a bike rack is available at the entrance to the lake so you can enjoy a well-deserved break in peace and quiet.
In Oudon, at the roundabout opposite the church, head towards the bridge, then turn immediately left onto Rue de la Loire. A refreshing break awaits you at the end of the street.
