There are also fishing areas, camper parking spaces, and a hotel with a restaurant. The lake is also the starting point of its own hiking trail. A recreational area in the south of the lake was developed infrastructurally, but not built and completed due to the marshy subsoil. In the course of the construction of the Weser tunnel and the federal road 437, the lake was to be partially designated as a nature reserve and a second lake was to be created to the north, but this was rejected for the construction of the Loxpark commercial area. In the village of Stotel, the streets "Am Stoteler See" and "Zum See" were named after the body of water. See: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoteler_See

The Stoteler See is an artificial bathing and recreational lake in the municipality of Loxstedt in Lower Saxony. It lies within the nature reserve „Teichfledermausgewässer“. The lake was named after the nearby village of Stotel and was created during the construction of the A27 federal motorway to the west. It is approximately 1 km long in a west-east direction, covers 30 hectares, and is up to 14.5 m deep. The surroundings are characterized by the Geest in the north and the Stoteler Moor in the south. Excess water from precipitation is diverted through the Hahnenknoop-Hetthorner Moor Canal into an old arm of the Lune river. The lake is home to fish species such as eel, perch, pike, carp, roach, rudd, tench, and zander. In addition, the surroundings offer a habitat for waterfowl such as mallard, garganey, greylag goose, water rail, and coot. Bathing activities are monitored by the DLRG (German Life Saving Association) local group Samtgemeinde Hagen, for which a watch station is available.

⚓️🚲 The fishing port double lock in Bremerhaven is a monumental structure and a central crossing for vehicles and pedestrians between the fishing port and the outer Weser region. It is closely linked to the maritime economy and the protection of the inner harbor basins from the tides.
