Description
The 10.4 ha lake was created during the construction of the Autobahn A 29 in the 1980s. The reason for this evacuation was for the construction of the ramps for the 26 meter high motorway viaduct. Today it is used a recreational area with close proximity to the port an commercial areas.
The Drielaker See is used by the Sport Fishing Club of Oldenburg (Sportfischer-Verein Oldenburg e.V.) for angling. The Hemmelsbäker Canal runs directly from the northeastern side of the lake, which leads into the Hunte about 100 meters further north.
