Wantz Lake is a circular artificial lake on the upper reaches of the Wantz Stream. It serves as a balancing reservoir to control flooding further downstream. It also features in a golf driving range although I would imagine the majority of balls must end up in the lake. The high net is to stop the golf balls ending up hitting the houses beyond although one would imagine many balls hitting the netting would also end up in the lake!
