The Plauer See is flowed through by the river Elde from east to west and is part of the "Bundeswasserstraße Müritz-Elde-Wasserstraße"[1] with waterway class I; the "Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsamt Lauenburg" is responsible.

The Global Nature Fund awarded the water body the title Lebendiger See des Jahres 2011.

[3] It has connections via the Elde to the Fleesensee, the Kölpinsee and the Müritz in the east and to the river Elbe in the west.

On the western shore of the Plauer See lies the eponymous town of Plau am See, which is also the centre of tourism in this region.
