Lake Suhr is a lake in the town of Plön in Schleswig-Holstein, east of Bundesstraße 76 and south of Lake Behler. It is located in Holstein Switzerland, surrounded by a hilly moraine landscape, and is part of the Suhrer See and Surrounding Area Nature Reserve.

The site formerly belonged to the 5 Lakes Barracks

The lake, with its distinctive underwater vegetation, is a habitat for numerous animal species that are adapted to the nutrient-poor conditions. Due to the clear water, extensive underwater grasslands have developed to a depth of over five meters. In addition to various, sometimes very rare pondweeds and stonecrop algae, the greater mermaid weed can also be found here, which is only found in a few lakes in Schleswig-Holstein. The nature reserve has a good network of hiking trails with several viewing points and can be circumnavigated on foot or by bike.

Lake Suhr is a feeding, resting and moulting area of supra-regional importance for water birds that need peace and are sensitive to disturbance, particularly tufted ducks, pochards, goldeneyes and red-crested scoters. The ducks, which are sensitive to disturbance, benefit from the ban on boats of all kinds on the lake. The state forest bordering to the east is a breeding ground for the honey buzzard, kingfisher, red-breasted flycatcher, black woodpecker and middle spotted woodpecker, among others. The slope beech forest has been taken out of use as a natural forest. The forest areas to the north-west of the lake, a former military training area, are being developed by the Nature Conservation Foundation into natural forest communities.
