This pretty mountain lake lies in a clearing surrounded by pines. At an altitude of 831m (2,726ft) and with a surface area of 8ha (20 acres), it is nicknamed "the little Canada of Haut-Bugey".
Lac Genin, the Renon and Molonnes peat bogs were awarded the ENS or espace naturel sensible (sensitive natural area) label by the Ain department in 2015. True natural and landscape jewels of the Ain department, ENS-labeled sites are on the one hand preserved through local management, and on the other hand promoted and made accessible to as many people as possible when the fragility of the site allows.
