View of Lippesee from the South Shore

In the Lippesee the Thule, a tributary of the lip, is dammed up. The lake and the surrounding area are a popular recreational area with a varied offer. Here you can sail, surf, pedal boating or simply swim in the lake. A paved bike and footpath leads around the lake.

At the lookout point on the south bank, you can take a break during a bike ride, as there are numerous seating arrangements, such as benches and stone curbs. Here you have a class view over the Lippesee.

The Lippesee is a local recreation area with a wide range of water sports and leisure options such as sailing, surfing, pedal boating and fishing. There is a small beach at the kiosk on the north bank. There is also a barbecue area, a children's playground, sunbathing lawns, a mountain bike course, a skate park and a mini golf course. Water-skiing opportunities can be found in the adjacent Nesthauser See.
The Lippesee is completely surrounded by mostly paved paths, on which cycling and running sports are possible all year round. With suitable snow conditions, the Lippe Lake circuit is also suitable as a cross-country ski run. Water sports are possible on the Lippesee. There are two sailing clubs on the lake, the Paderborner Yacht Club e.V. and the Segler-Verein Paderborn e.V., as well as a commercial sailing school (Wiki)
