About
Weerwater is a small artificial lake in Almere Stad, the central district of Almere in the province Flevoland, Netherlands. The water and shores are used for recreation.
On and around Weerwater a cable ski track, a watersportscenter, watchtower, marina, campsite and four beaches:
The lake started off as a borrow pit, caused by excavations for Almere Haven and is situated north of Rijksweg 6. Because these excavations caused a new body of water to form, within a polder, this name "Weerwater" ("water again") was adopted.
The actual city center of Almere is situated directly to the north shore and the city theatre Kunstlinie Almere Flevoland 'hovers' over the water.
The perimeter of the Weerwater is approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi).
