Arkenberger Baggersee is an artificial lake in the Barnim Nature Park, close to the Blankenfelde locality in the Pankow borough of Berlin, Germany.
In 2004, bathing and swimming were prohibited in Arkenberger Baggersee, along with eleven other lakes, because the water quality could not be guaranteed to meet European Union regulations on the quality of public-use waters.
[3] Prior to that, crowds of up to 1500 people were known to attend on warm days, and there was a great deal of concern about the garbage they left behind.
[4] Thirteen species of fish have been introduced to the lake, including catfish and carp.
Although they were introduced as stock, most species except catfish and carp have established breeding populations in the lake.
