In In the following years, the Hoornse Meer became bigger and bigger it connected to the Paterswoldse Meer. This created a beautiful water recreation area with an area of ??approximately 270 hectares.
The Hoornse Plas, 20 hectares in size, is separated from the Hoornse Meer through the Nijdam, which is also part of the walking route around the Hoornse Plas.

On May 19, 1977, nude recreation, by the Paterswolde lordship, was on the south side of the Hoornse Plas allowed. At the entrance there are signs with the text & quot; free recreation & quot ;. The nudist beach is the largest part on the territory of the province of Drenthe.
