The
Eemmeer is a
lake situated in the middle of the
Netherlands between the provinces of
Flevoland,
Utrecht, and
North Holland. It measures and contains one small island, the Dode Hond (
Dead Dog). The Eemmeer is one in a series of peripheral lakes used to
geohydrologically detach the low-lying
polders of Flevoland from higher old mainland. The Eemmeer is connected to the peripheral lakes
Gooimeer in the west, at the point where both lakes are crossed by the highway A27 bridge, and the Nijkerkernauw in the east.
