Šoderica, Artificial lake in Legrad, Croatia

Šoderica is an artificial lake in Koprivnica-Križevci County, its southern and western parts in Drnje municipality and the rest in Legrad. Gravel extraction since 1869 created a water body of about 150 hectares, fed by groundwater from the Drava, which lies 400–500 m away. The northern part averages 8 m deep, while the southern part reaches 20 m and still has an active dredger.

Gravel extraction at Šoderica began with a concession granted to the Rasinja landowner Inkey in 1869 and continues today, with operations planned for another 30 years. The flooded pits became a tourist area from the 1920s and especially the 1960s; tourism now stagnates. Studies from the early 1990s on recreation and hydrogeology were not fully realised.

Gravel extraction began in 1869 under a concession held by the Rasinja landowner Inkey and continues today, with operations projected for another 30 years. The oldest, northern part of the lake holds the beach and the weekend settlement of about 400 buildings; tourism there grew from the 1920s and especially the 1960s and now stagnates.

The roughly 1,500 m of northern shore holds the most developed beach, on the oldest part of the lake. Gravel extraction continues on the Drnje side, while tourism is concentrated in Legrad municipality. The northern section averages about 8 m deep, but the central part is a shallows of 0.5 to 2 m.

The lake's water level follows the Drava's, with a delay, because the underground gravel layer about 15 metres thick is fed by the river; a water-diversion system can adjust the level. Gravel is still extracted in the southern part, where depths reach 20 metres and a floating dredge works.
