An artificial lake which is situated in two departments, the Alpes de Haute Provence (04) and the Var (83).
It's an ideal but challenging sailing lake, with thermal winds and sometimes surprisingly strong gusts. With a length of over 10km and a width between 0,5km and 3km, surrounded by mountains it's a perfect place for sport and leisure.

The club is situated below the village of Sainte Croix du Verdon on the shores of the Lac de Sainte Croix.
