Am Edersee There's plenty of space for your time on the water. The shore is freely accessible almost everywhere – whether at the lido or in a quiet bay. Sailing, surfing, paddling, rowing, or stand-up paddling: you decide how active you want to be. Courses and rental equipment are available on-site. Even those who prefer a more leisurely approach will find options: by pedal boat, electric boat, or passenger ship.

Anglers explore the lake in their own way—with guides or on their own. And those who prefer flowing water can simply paddle the Eder.

             

The Edersee offers numerous swimming opportunities – free of charge and without major infrastructure requirements. Those traveling with children will find safe entry points, shallow shorelines, and often a kiosk or restaurant nearby at the lidos such as Waldeck-West or Rehbach. Things are a bit quieter on the Scheid peninsula, with its lawn and designated dog beach. In addition, many small bays along the lake invite you to simply stop, stay, or move on.

All shore areas are freely accessible. Please be aware that some sections of the shore are steep or rocky, and there is no supervision outside of the lidos. Swimming is not permitted in designated areas, such as the waterskiing area. There are also several family-friendly outdoor pools.
