The Canada Water Board is an artificial lake located north-west of Beauvais and along the Thérain, a tributary of the Oise.

Located on the right bank of Thérain [ first ] , it has a 3 -kilometer path throughout its banks and is open to swimming from July to August. It was once divided into two unequal parts by a dike destroyed in 1999. Only an island (prohibited to the public) remained in the middle of the lake.

The body of water can absorb 320,000 m 3 water, which represents about two days of flooding [ 2 ] .

It is an artificial lake whose ecological richness is quite strong, part of the continuity of the wetlands of the Thérain valley.

Many aquatic herbaries (charophytes, potamots …) are at the base of food chains and provide food and shelter with invertebrates and abundant fish on the site.

It is one of the most important sites in the Oise in terms of Avifauna: despite human activities, the large surface of the lake, its wealth in fish (fishing is prohibited) and the presence of beaches and islets are favorable to a wide diversity of birds. It is notably a nesting site for the PierreGarin sterne ( Sterne swallow ) and little gravelot ( Charadrius hesitant ), of migration of many limitations, anatidae, laidés, guifettes, and a wintering site of certain ducks, particularly of the duck chipeau ( Mareca strepera ).

The city plans to make an downstream dike which would allow to remember 100,000 m 3 additional water [ 2 ] .

In , the Blue Pavilion Label of Europe is allocated to the body of water. Lac artificial beach opens a month later [ 9 ] . It was however the same year, in , that the duck chip is introduced on the site [ ten ] . Attendance fell to 9,000 admissions throughout the season, compared to 21,000 the previous year [ 11 ] .
