Water Temperature in Dole: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Dole, a historic city in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France, is located on the banks of the Doubs River. The Doubs, a major river in eastern France, flows through the city and offers picturesque views, making it a popular spot for nature walks and boat rides. However, swimming in the Doubs River in Dole is generally not recommended due to the water's cold temperature and the river's strong currents. In the summer months, water temperatures can reach up to 18°C to 20°C (64°F to 68°F), which may be refreshing but could still be too cold for a comfortable swim for many people, especially in areas with stronger currents or faster flows.

While some adventurous swimmers may choose to dip into the river during warmer days, the Doubs River is more commonly enjoyed for activities like canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, where the water's conditions can be more easily managed. For those seeking a safer and more comfortable swimming experience, there are public swimming pools in Dole, and nearby lakes such as the Lac de Chalain and Lac de Vouglans offer calm waters that are more suitable for recreational swimming. Thus, while the Doubs River provides a beautiful setting, it is not typically seen as an ideal location for swimming.
