The first dammed lake on the Verdon, the Castillon reservoir stretches from Saint-André-les-Alpes, passing through St-Julien-en-Verdon, to end 8 km further on at the Castillon dam, 90 m high and 200 m wide.
In the heart of the Verdon Regional Nature Park, it offers a magnificent setting for shore or boat fishing.
Lac de Castillon is renowned for its big fish, and motivated pike enthusiasts will find fish worthy of a good fight. In these emerald waters you’ll also find plenty of bleak, ideal for a good game of coarse fishing. What could be better than a good fried bleak during an aperitif with friends to delight the most gourmet of palates?
Float-tubing is permitted on the lake.
