    The Benthuizerplas, together with the Noordhovense Plas and the Zoetermeerse Plas, is part of the Noord Aa recreational area. The Zoetermeerse Plas is a dug lake for sand extraction. The other two have been excavated, are fairly shallow and serve as an overflow area for the Zoetermeerse Plas. The Benthuizerplas is a nature reserve and popular with waterfowl and bird lovers.

    The Benthuizerplas, like the other two lakes, has an important function as a water storage facility, but is also a nature development lake between Benthuizen and Zoetermeer. The lake is a special area when it comes to nature. The water is completely closed off from the other lakes and has its own natural water level management system. This means that rain and evaporation largely determine the height of the water level.
