RIVER CANOEING TRIP
Come and share this canoeing experience with your family !!
THE PLACE
The courant des forges
The Courant des Forges flows over 4 miles from over Pontenx les Forges to the lake of Mimizan. You will love this natural river which winds its way through the forest. Then you will cross the lake- a distance of 2 miles – to reach the Watersports Centre.
Accessible to all, the Courant des Forges is a level 1 classified river with little current and presenting no dangers, which nevertheless reserves a few surprises……
