De Leijen (Frisian and officially: De Leien) is a lake in the province of Friesland (Netherlands), located between Oostermeer (Eastermar) and Opeinde (De Pein). It was created by peat mining and is therefore shallow in many places. A canal runs through the lake, connecting the Opeindervaart with Opeinde on the Lits to Eastermar and Rottevalle (De Rottefalle). On the east side of the lake there is a beach with catering and camping. The lake and its shores mostly belong to the Staatsbosbeheer. De Leijen is known as a nature reserve with many special bird colonies.
