Caumasee (Romansh: Lag la Cauma or Lai da Cauma) is a lake near Flims, in the Grisons, Switzerland. It is one of the lakes on the Flims Rockslide deposits. The lake is fed from underground sources. Its surface area is 10.3194 ha.
The lake level varies by approximately 4 to 5 meters, depending on underground water flow throughout the year; it reaches its minimum by the end of April, when snowmelt in the mountains increases. A maximum level is reached by mid July, but may be topped in August, even after a previous fall due to summer rain. The very western bay never freezes in winter, probably showing a maximum water flow in this area.
