Lac de la Moselotte is a managed leisure lake in Saulxures-sur-Moselotte, a short drive from La Bresse. Its supervised beach, equipment hire and campsite make it a practical day by the water, provided you know the 2026 timetable and site rules.
Location and the right lake name
The leisure base is at 336 route des Amias, 88290 Saulxures-sur-Moselotte. Its official website describes a 9.6-hectare artificial lake with walking paths and picnic areas.
Do not confuse it with Lac de la Lande, in La Bresse below the Kastelberg. The tourist office presents that lake as part of a walking route. For a managed beach and operator-run water activities, enter the Lac de la Moselotte leisure base in your map.
Supervised swimming: 2026 times
The base publishes a precise summer schedule:
- 27 June to 30 August 2026;
- paid, supervised swimming from 9:30am to 7pm;
- free but unsupervised access from 7pm to 11pm, with quiet hours respected;
- outside these periods, access reserved for campsite and accommodation guests.
Supervision does not replace the flags, signs and staff instructions. Check the official page on the day, as weather and operations may affect conditions.

Canoe, kayak, paddleboard and pedal boat hire
The base hires canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and pedal boats. Hiring locally provides the equipment, permitted navigation area and advice for the day’s conditions.
The website also flags restrictions on private watercraft. Do not plan to launch your own equipment without checking the rules. Our guide to stand-up paddleboarding near La Bresse explains the checks to make before paddling on a Vosges lake.
Two separate attractions complete the offer: Aqua Fly, an inflatable course, and Waterjump, with slides and diving boards. Independent providers operate them for an extra charge. They advertise a June-to-September 2026 season, with the closing date dependent on weather.
Land activities and site rules
The site also advertises hybrid-bike, e-bike and pedal-car hire, plus fishing through its own packages. Climbing and archery are for groups and available on request.
Rules for pets and certain equipment change during summer. Check the site’s pictograms and regulations before bringing a dog, wheeled equipment or large inflatables. Respect fishing areas and the designated swimming zone.
Camping beside the lake
The campsite is directly connected to the leisure base. It offers tent, caravan and motorhome pitches, as well as mobile homes, bungalows and chalets. Reception advertises daily opening from 8am to 7pm in July and August, with a regular closure from 12:15pm to 1:30pm.
These hours do not confirm accommodation availability. Check the booking page or contact the campsite. Our guide to family campsites in the Hautes-Vosges provides more options.
Before travelling
Check the day’s opening, supervision and available activities before leaving La Bresse. Bring sun protection, suitable swimwear and any equipment requested for children. If you stay after 7pm, remember that swimming is no longer supervised.
