Canoe and kayak offer a gentle yet sporty way into the lakes and rivers of the Vosges. On Gérardmer or the fjord-like Lake Pierre-Percée, you skirt wild shores you can’t reach on foot. Solo or as a pair, perfect for a half-day in nature.

Tips & good to know

Pierre-Percée: superb narrow inlets to explore.
Check the weather: wind picks up in the afternoon.
Beginners: choose the canoe, more stable.
