The Accumer See (also Baggersee Accum) is a quarry pond in the area of ​​the town of Schortens southwest of Accum in the district of Friesland , Lower Saxony .

It was created in the years 1970–1975 by excavating sand for the construction of the Federal Highway 29 .

After the lake was closed to anglers and bathers in 2005 due to blue-green algae , the Oldenburg / Ostfriesland / Wilhelmshaven University of Applied Sciences installed a free jet device for deep water aeration in 2006 . This project, which was supported by the Terramare research center , aimed to pump oxygen-rich surface water into deeper layers and thus curb the blue-green algae bloom.

The lake is used by the sport fishing association Wilhelmshaven eV as fishing waters.
