Zwettepoel (in Frisian Swettepoel) is an idyllic recreational lake between the villages of Broek and Goingarijp in the Lage Midden or ‘low midlands’ area of Friesland.
At one time the lake was connected to the Broekstervaart and Noorder Oudeweg waterways. The excavation of sand led to the creation of a lake surrounded by nature. This is a tranquil area with footpaths. The lake has a plentiful supply of carp, zander, bream, tench, eel and pike and is a popular place for fishing.
