Sorø Lake is the largest and most upstream of three lakes that almost surround the town of Sorø, Sorø Municipality, on the central part of Zealand, Denmark. Together with the two other lakes, Pedersborg Lake and Tuel Lake, it is collectively known as the Sorø Lakes. They drain into the Suså River. Sorø Lake is owned by Sorø Academy, a centuries-old educational institution that stands on its northeastern shores. A tour boat operates on the lake in the summer time. It is also a popular venue for a wide range of recreational activities, including, sailing, rowing, kayaking, fishing and swimming.
