Zoetermeerse Plas is a man-made freshwater lake in Zoetermeer, created through sand extraction and now serving as a popular recreational and fishing destination. With depths reaching around 25–30 meters and a surface area of over 100 hectares, it offers clear water and good habitat for species such as perch, pike, and zander. The lake is part of the Dutch polder system, with controlled water levels and indirect connections via canals and the Nieuwe Maas leading to the North Sea.
