The Gorinsee is a lake in the nature reserve of the same name in the Hintersee municipality in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

The approximately 7.7 hectare large body of water with a maximum extension of about 410 by 250 meters is located in the municipality of Hintersee and is three kilometers southwest of the center of Hintersee. It lies on the south-eastern edge of the forest area of ​​the Ueckermünder Heide. The closest village is Glashütte in the south, which belongs to the municipality of Rothenklempenow . The state road 283 and a railway embankment of the former Randower Kleinbahn run southeast of the water . The outflow of the lake is the Gorinseegraben, which drains the water over the Prahmgraben into the Randow . A not constantly water-bearing tributary exists over the Wolfsgraben from the Martenschen Bruch to the east .

The original size of the lake created by a body of dead ice at the end of the Vistula Ice Age was about 57 hectares. On the Swedish matriculation card from 1694 and on the Schmettauschen card from 1780 no drainage ditches can yet be seen. Groundwater subsidence from the 19th century and the construction of the Gorinsee trench led to a reduction in the water surface and the formation of silting bog and quarry forest . The area around the lake, which was used as a military state hunting area until 1990, has been characterized by high numbers of wild boar and red deer since the 1970s.

An area of ​​245 hectares, encompassing Lake Gorin and adjacent areas, was placed under nature protection on September 19, 1990. The aim is to preserve a silting forest lake with extensive alder forests on the edge.
