Weerwater, Artificial lake in Almere, Netherlands
Weerwater is an artificial lake in Almere with four beaches positioned along its shoreline. The water body serves swimmers, sailors, and water sports enthusiasts throughout the year.
The lake resulted from sand excavation needed to build the Almere Haven district on reclaimed polder land. This transformation from empty waters into a city landscape happened during Almere's growth in recent decades.
Local writers contributed to the literary heritage of the area when author Renate Dorrestein named her novel after this central water feature in 2009.
Access to the beaches is straightforward from the city, with parking available near all swim areas. The warmest months offer the best conditions for swimming, though experienced water sports users enjoy the lake year-round.
A theater sits directly above the water, creating an unusual link between the city and the lake. This architectural feature gives the location a distinctive character within the Dutch landscape.
