Les étangs de Tonnoy bordent la rivière Moselle, c'est un ensemble d'une dizaines d'anciennes gravières avec pas mal d'arbres tout autour. Les étangs sont de différentes tailles avec plus ou moins d'entretien. Un petit bois touche le site sur un coté, ce qui amène encore un biotope différent au lieu. Ce petit bois, abrite un grand nombre d'arbres morts sur pieds.
