Located in Saint-Benoît, Grand-Etang is the largest inland body of water on the island.

This geological gem is fed by multiple waterfalls, and its level can vary. This horseback ride at the Grand Etang in Saint-Benoît offers a magnificent spectacle because the lake is located in the middle of lush greenery, between ferns and waterfalls.
