A grassy path leads along the lake to the bathing area, and there is also a parking lot above the bathing area. The bathing area has a jetty and is marked as a non-swimmer and swimmer zone. Watch out for seaweed in the swimming area. There is a small sandy beach, a large lawn, and benches for relaxing, as well as restrooms and a changing room. The lake is 23 hectares in size and 2.2 meters deep and is a channel lake (formed by thawed meltwater during the last ice age).

With an area of approximately 23 hectares (2 km long, 250 m wide), Lake Nehms is one of the region's smaller lakes. In early summer, the hilly Holstein landscape is a lush green, making the lake a popular destination for day trips. Due to its relatively shallow depth of 2.2 m, the water warms up comparatively quickly, a fact well known to locals who enjoy the afternoon sun at the beach in the northeast. Motorboats are not permitted on the lake, creating a peaceful and natural environment. But fishing is permitted – so be careful when bathing your dog.
