The Gileppe River, located in the Ardennes region of Belgium, is a beautiful, winding waterway that flows through the forests near the Gileppe Dam, close to the town of Jalhay. The river is a popular spot for outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing, but it is not widely known as a destination for swimming. The water temperature in the Gileppe River is generally cool due to its source at the dam, and it remains fairly constant throughout the year. In the summer, water temperatures can range from 14°C to 18°C (57°F to 64°F), which is suitable for brief immersion but not ideal for prolonged swimming. Winter temperatures often drop below 10°C (50°F), making swimming even less appealing.

Swimming in the Gileppe River is not recommended due to several factors. The river is fed by the Gileppe Reservoir, which is used for hydroelectric purposes, and as a result, the water can have strong currents, especially after rainfall. The presence of submerged rocks and the variable water quality make it hazardous for casual swimming. The area around the river is beautiful and offers various opportunities for water-based activities such as kayaking and canoeing, but safety concerns and water conditions make it a less-than-ideal location for swimming.
