The Lake of Lourdes is a completely separate place to where St. Bernadette saw the Virgin Mary. She saw her close to the river Gave, in a place that was then known as the Massabielle. When in Lourdes, people do go to the lake of Lourdes, but it is only a tourist attraction for activities and sight seeing, but has nothing to do with the apparitions or the religious aspects of Lourdes.
It became a place of pilgrimage because of Saint Bernadette. She saw a vision of Mother Mary, serval occasions, and she granted her to dig up her feet and open a spring, so the people who go to visit was can get healed by their illnesses.
