Hámori Lake, lake in Hungary

Hámori Lake is a small reservoir in Miskolc surrounded by trees with walking paths along its shore. The water serves as a supply reservoir for the local area while supporting aquatic wildlife and occasionally small boats that move across the surface.

The lake was created to supply water to the Újmassa ironworks: the first surveys for the dam were made in 1799, and most of the work was finished by 1813, with final completion around 1815. Chamber engineer Anton Seidl designed the dam, built of clay tamped between wattle on a dolomite base. In 1925–1929 the Szinva was diverted for the Palotaszálló, reducing the lake's water supply.

The lake's name comes from the German word Teich (pond); locals once called it Taj, and an 1861 article in Vasárnapi Ujság referred to it as the Diósgyőr lake. From 1956 the Miskolci Fürdővállalat restarted boating on part of the water, and for decades after 1945 annual boat and kayak races were held.

A tourist path with small rest stops runs along the southern shore, and boats can be hired on roughly half of the lake; the water-bike rental was moved from the Görbe híd arch bridge of the narrow-gauge railway up to the Palotaszálló. The lake is reached by the Lillafüredi State Forest Railway, getting off at Lillafüred station and heading north, or by bus 5 at the small-railway station and bus 15 directly at the lake.

The lake's average depth is nine metres, greater than that of Lake Balaton. In 1932 a floating bathing beach was built on the water, later fixed on piles. The dam was rebuilt with stone set in cement in 1932–33, and the lake was drained in 1951 to install new bottom outlets.
