Barfods Dam (Pond) in Bogense
Barfod's Pond is a lovely little spot where you can fish, enjoy the view on a walk, or hop around on the nature playground next door!
Fishing lake for kids and adults
Barfods Dam is close to Bogense Marina, but the pond is tucked away behind trees and feels like a peaceful green oasis.
There are three platforms out over the water, so children, people with disabilities, and anyone with limited mobility can fish easily - and everyone is welcome.
There are plenty of fish in the 10,000 m² lake. For example, you might catch perch, pike, eel, rudd, roach, and stickleback.
Bring a fishing rod or a small landing net and enjoy a relaxed fishing trip!
The lake isn’t staffed, and there’s no guarantee you’ll catch anything - but it’s a cosy spot either way.
From dikes and iron to a fishing lake and a stop on your walk
It hasn’t always been this quiet here. The pond was dug in the 1800s, when the soil was used for dikes outside Bogense and as fill for the Bogense Iron Foundry.
Barfods Dam was a put-and-take lake for many years, but fish are no longer stocked here. Still, there are fish in the lake.
It’s also a lovely place for a walk in beautiful nature.
Dogs must be kept on a leash on the walk.
