- Wind sports playground (windsurfing & kitesurfing) — The long, open surface of the reservoir plus valley winds make this spot noticeably friendlier to wind riders than small mountain ponds. You’ll find steady gusts for carving or jumping without the crowded sea conditions; great if you want fast progress and long runs instead of constant chop.
- Cable-assisted wakeboarding and tow-sports — There’s a cable setup on the water that turns a day at the beach into a proper playground for skaters. It’s one of the few places locally where you can hit rails, try tricks, or just cruise behind a smooth system instead of relying on a boat.
- Flatwater SUP & exploring sheltered coves — The reservoir’s size and sheltered inlets make for relaxed long paddles and easy touring. You can quietly slip into reed-fringed

- Flatwater SUP & exploring sheltered coves — The reservoir’s size and sheltered inlets make for relaxed long paddles and easy touring. You can quietly slip into reed-fringed bays, poke along flooded shorelines and find tiny picnic beaches that feel a world away from the main bathing areas.
- Dam walk, cycling loop and sunset viewing — Riding or walking the long dam and the circuit around the lake offers uninterrupted panoramas of the water with the mountains beyond. Sunset from the dam is a proper show; later in summer evenings it’s peaceful, great for a slow stroll or low-key photos (and stargazing when the lights die down).
- Fishing, boat trips and reservoir history — Angling here is a real thing (predators and carp are common) and local boat trips let you cover more water and hear the backstory of the valley that was flooded. On low-water days you can sometimes glimpse ruins or foundations — adds a slightly eerie, interesting layer to a beach day.
