Two Gelderland freshwater lakes for cautious shore-diving plans and excellent green-country day trips.
Pick an activity mode to compare signature sites, skill fit, and gear planning notes before you lock your trip.
Leisurelands identifies both Stroombroek and Hilgelo as inland dive areas with vegetation, typical published visibility of 1 m to 3 m, and a listed depth of 15 m. Stroombroek offers shore-entry nature diving, but the operating cable-waterski zone must be avoided. The public-access status of the camping-side Hilgelo entry is unresolved: Duikersgids restricts it to camping guests. These are independent or club-style lake dives, not a verified daily guided product.
Stroombroek (Braamt)
A documented shore dive with macrophyte growth and freshwater fish.
Hilgelo (Winterswijk)
Leisurelands lists the lake for diving, but a prominent dive directory says the camping-side Hilgelomeer entry is for camping guests only.
