Hiking and walking

Lake Arriesjön is perfect for shorter walks. Bear in mind that some of the paths do go up and down in the hilly landscape. Several of the paths are suitable for disabled visitors and there are benches alongside the footpaths if you need a rest. A new red marked hiking trail connects the Arrie village (and bus stop) with the recreation area. Download the map for Arriesjön recreation area.

Riding

There is a 3,2 kilometre long horse riding track on the site. Please respect that riding on other paths is not permitted. You are not permitted to go bathing with your horse from the sandy beach.

Play

There is an obstacle course for children set up next to the industrial building.

Fishing

You can fish for perch, pike, roach and rudd in Lake Arriesjön. There is a fishing platform suitable for disabled users. Remember to buy a fishing permit at the site www.arriefiske.se

Birdwatching

There is a rich birdlife at Lake Arriesjön. Greylag geese, barnacle geese and a large number of duck species nest here. There are colonies of common tern and black headed gulls which nest on the islands. The lake with its dense thickets is a good place to rest up for many migrating birds. In order to avoid disturbing the birds you are not allowed to go ashore on the islands. The best place to watch for birds is possibly from one of the two viewing platforms, both of which have been made accessible to disabled visitors.

Eating

There are several picnic places on the site, with benches, tables and fire places. One of the barbecue areas is suitable for disabled visitors. At the northern parking you will find Arriesjön café with freshly baked buns in the old brick factory.

Swimming and sauna

Our visitors tend to swim by the southern parking but there is no prepared area. Swimming is at your own risk, bear in mind that the lake quickly becomes very deep. For your safety, we have put out a live preserver on the site. In the lake there is a sauna with events by What Sup Malmö.

Ice skating

In the winter it is possible to go ice skating on the lake. But bear in mind that you do this at your own risk. Natural ice is a living and constantly changing material.

The industrial building

The century-old industrial building bears witness to the heyday of the gravel pit. During 2022-2023 the building will be partly renovated for different businesses: cultural events and a café.
