Veerse Meer, Protected lake in Zeeland, Netherlands

The Veerse Meer extends across multiple municipalities in Zeeland, featuring numerous small islands and sandbanks throughout its water surface.

The construction of the Veerse Dam in 1961 transformed this former part of the Oosterschelde estuary into a brackish water lake.

Local communities around the lake maintain strong connections to maritime activities through fishing traditions and water-based recreational pursuits.

The lake offers designated areas for sailing, swimming, and fishing, with multiple access points along its shoreline for water sports enthusiasts.

Since 2004, a passage to the Oosterschelde has increased oxygen levels in deeper sections, allowing marine species to return to the lake.
