The 20-hectare Lac d'Arzacq is used for agricultural purposes (irrigation). The north/north-western part of the lake is dedicated to leisure, relaxation and fishing, with a gravel path running the length of the lake. The other part is a refuge for many migratory and, above all, sedentary birds. To maintain this balance, make sure you stay on the path and don't get too close to the water.
