Wijthmenerplas, Recreation lake in Marsweteringlanden district, Zwolle, Netherlands

The Wijthmenerplas spans 1.5 square kilometers with varying depths reaching 19 meters, featuring swimming areas, walking paths, and natural sand beaches.

The lake emerged in the 1970s through sand extraction activities needed for road construction and dike reinforcement projects in the Overijssel province.

Local residents gather at Wijthmenerplas throughout summer for swimming, sunbathing, and community events including music festivals and the traditional New Year's dive.

From June to August, the site provides lifeguards, restrooms, showers, a first aid station, and a kiosk serving refreshments to visitors.

The lake contains submerged objects including cars, a shipwreck, and a diving platform, while its waters house pike, carp, and European crayfish.
