Wijthmenerplas, Recreation lake in Marsweteringlanden district, Zwolle, Netherlands

Wijthmenerplas is a recreation lake in the Marsweteringlanden district of Zwolle spanning roughly 1.5 square kilometers. The water has varying depths and offers swimming areas, walking paths, and natural sand beaches for visitors to enjoy.

The lake formed in the 1970s as a result of sand extraction needed for road and dike construction in Overijssel province. What began as an industrial need eventually became a recreation destination for the region.

People gather here throughout the summer to swim and relax on the sandy shores. The lake serves as a social space where locals spend their free time together.

During summer months, lifeguards are present along with restrooms, showers, and a kiosk offering refreshments. Visitors should arrive early during busy times and wear sun protection when spending extended periods outdoors.

The lake contains submerged objects including a sunken ship that rests on the bottom. These underwater features make the location intriguing for diving enthusiasts and curious explorers.
