Lake Guerlédan and Caurel Woods

Guerlédan Lake and Dam
Starting from the Mileade centre, this hike will take you along Lake Guerlédan to the dam. On the way back, you can take a break at the leisure centre before crossing the Bois Cornec.
Lake Guerlédan via the Guerlédan Dam and the Trou à Cochons
Hike on the south side of Lake Guerlédan, starting from the church of Saint-Aignan in the commune of the same name. A rather bucolic route dotted with a few farms. The route runs along the shores of the lake and through the forest surrounding it. The landscapes are therefore very varied. Numerous paths allow you to diversify the route.
Caurel Woods and Lake Guerlédan
This hike was completed and written during the summer of 2015, an exceptional period when the lake was drained for dam maintenance.We invite hikers to do this walk in spring, when the colours and scents are at their best, with the clear waters of the lake as a backdrop.
Since 2024, major work has been underway between points 3 and 4 with a view to building a free Himalayan footbridge for crossing the Blavet, which cuts the complete tour of the lake in two. This will still be possible for the most experienced walkers. (See note in "Practical information".
Lake Guerlédan - Anse de Sordan - Bon Repos Abbey
A lovely hike that allows you to discover the shores of Lake Guerlédan. Start at Anse de Sordan and walk back up to Bon Repos Abbey.
Tour of Butte de Malvran
A beautiful route that initially follows the edge of Lake Guerlédan via theGR® 341, then climbs up to the Butte de Malvran, which overlooks the surrounding area.
The Fountain and Cromlec'h of Lorette and the Rigole d'Hilvern
In the footsteps of the Toileux: 19th-century linen manufacturers; a journey back in time with the Cromlec'h de Lorette (an ancient covered burial passage) ending with the Rigole d'Hilvern: a man-made stream dug to feed the Nantes-Brest Canal - a little-known aspect of Brittany.
Hilvern stream from Saint-Caradec
This hike will take you through the Rigole d'Hilvern on good paths.
In the Middle Ages, according to legend, Saint-Caradec belonged to the Viscounty of Rohan.
A smallpox epidemic occurred between 1865 and 1870, claiming 45 lives. Then, in 1902, a typhoid fever epidemic broke out in the region.
Around the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Bon-Repos
Take a short loop around Bon Repos Abbey by following the towpath of the Nantes-Brest canal to the Bellevue lock. The hike continues on theGR®34trail, which runs along the shores of Lake Guerlédan before venturing into the countryside and returning to the abbey.
Covered walkways of Liscuis and Daoulas Gorges
A short circular walk to discover the covered alleys listed as Historic Monuments, then the Daoulas Gorges in a somewhat wild rocky environment. A complete change of scenery guaranteed. As a bonus, and for a short 1 km detour, I suggest you visit the ruins of Notre-Dame de Bon Repos Abbey.
Tour of Lake Bosmeleac
A relaxing walk around the dam lake. The path along the banks is beautifully maintained.
The artificial reservoir was created by building a dam at the end of the 19th century to supply the Canal de Nantes à Brest during periods of water shortage. A gauge shows that the water level at the dam can reach 14 metres.
