Frisian Lakes

The Frisian Lakes consists of 24 lakes in central and southwest Friesland, a province of the Netherlands located in the northern part of the country.

Note that the Frisian names, here indicated in italic, are the official ones.

In the summer, regatta boat races are held at some of the Frisian Lakes in south Friesland.

[4][5] The Frisian Lakes attract boaters from all over the Netherlands in the summer.

The highlight of the Frisian boating season is the Sneekweek, an annual boating event held in Sneek, the largest town of the area.
