Nørhå FiskePark
Small, stocked fishing lake in rural Thy, offering easy-going put & take angling, simple facilities and calm countryside atmosphere near Denmark’s wild northwest coast.
Nørhå FiskePark is a tranquil put & take fishing lake tucked into the countryside near Snedsted in Thy, just inland from Denmark’s wild northwest coast. Surrounded by fields and sheltering trees, the compact 4,000 m² lake is stocked with trout and eel, offering relaxed, accessible angling rather than hardcore wilderness fishing. Simple on-site facilities, long daily opening hours and a calm rural setting make it an easy-going stop for families, beginners and anyone keen to cast a line between National Park Thy and the North Sea.

Local tips
- Bring your own light spinning or float-fishing setup; while basic tackle is available on site, having familiar gear makes it easier to fish efficiently.
- Pack layered clothing and a windproof jacket, as the exposed northwest Jutland countryside can feel cool even on bright days by the water.
- Allow at least two to three hours for fishing to increase your chances of a catch and to explore different spots around the 4,000 m² lake.
- Bring a small cool bag or container and a sharp knife if you plan to keep fish, so you can store and transport your catch safely after cleaning.
- Check current ticket prices and any seasonal rules before you go, as regulations on catch limits and opening hours can change over time.

Getting There
-
Car from Thisted
From Thisted, reaching Nørhå FiskePark by car typically takes about 25–35 minutes, following regional roads through the countryside. The route is straightforward on paved roads suitable for all standard vehicles. There is usually informal parking by the fishery, but spaces are unmarked and can feel limited on busy weekends, so arrive early for the most convenient spots. No additional road tolls apply, and fuel costs are the main expense for this option.
-
Car from Hanstholm coastal area
Travelling by car from the Hanstholm coastal area to Nørhå FiskePark normally takes 30–40 minutes, using inland regional roads that connect the coast with the Snedsted area. The drive is on sealed roads with some narrow rural stretches, but it does not require four-wheel drive. Parking is directly at the fish park and free of charge, though on peak summer days it can feel busy around popular fishing times.
-
Train and taxi via Snedsted
If you rely on public transport, you can take a regional train to Snedsted, which from Thisted usually takes around 10–15 minutes and costs in the region of 30–60 DKK one way in standard class. From Snedsted station, the remaining rural distance to Nørhå FiskePark is best covered by pre-booked taxi, normally a 10–15 minute ride with fares commonly around 120–200 DKK depending on time of day and company. Services are less frequent in the evening and on weekends, so planning connections in advance is important.

A quiet fishing pond on the edge of Thy
Nørhå FiskePark sits in gently rolling countryside outside the village of Snedsted, not far from the dunes and heathlands that define Thy. This is classic rural northwest Jutland: wide skies, wind in the grass, and farm fields broken by pockets of woodland. The lake itself is modest in size, around 4,000 square metres, but that intimacy is part of the charm. You are never far from the water’s edge, and it is easy to keep an eye on both your float and your companions. The banks are mostly grassed with a few trees and shrubs providing shelter from the wind. Paths circle the water, so you can pick a quiet corner or move around in search of more active fish. The atmosphere is deliberately low-key, more country pond than big, commercial complex.Put & take angling made simple
Nørhå FiskePark is a classic Danish put & take venue, designed so that anyone can try freshwater fishing with a decent chance of success. The lake is stocked with species such as rainbow trout and brown trout, and there are also eel in the water. Stocking focuses on fish of a size that gives a satisfying fight without demanding specialist tackle or advanced skills. Most anglers here use light spinning gear or simple float rigs, casting spoons, spinners, natural bait or artificial paste along the margins. With the shoreline so accessible, you do not need waders or boats; you simply walk to a likely-looking spot and start fishing. It is an easy place to introduce children to their first fish or to tinker with new lures in a forgiving environment.Facilities tailored to everyday anglers
Despite its rural setting, the park provides the basics that make a fishing day smoother. There is a small service area with toilet facilities and simple angler-focused amenities, such as cleaning arrangements for preparing your catch. Benches and informal seating spots are dotted along parts of the bank, allowing you to rest between casts or enjoy a packed lunch with a view of the water. The on-site shop functions as a practical hub, offering bait, small tackle items and local knowledge. Staff are accustomed to helping both first-timers and more experienced visitors fine-tune their approach to the lake. Opening hours are generous, from early morning to evening, giving scope for both dawn and late-afternoon sessions.Between farmland calm and coastal wildness
One of the park’s quiet strengths is its location within easy reach of Thy’s wilder landscapes. A short drive away lie dune systems, coastal plantations and the far larger expanses of National Park Thy. That makes Nørhå FiskePark a natural complement to beach walks and coastal cycling, offering a sheltered inland break when the North Sea wind is howling or the family wants a slower-paced activity. At the water’s edge you still feel close to nature. Swallows skim low over the surface in summer, and you may see herons, ducks or other birdlife using the pond as a resting place. The surrounding fields change character with the seasons, from spring growth to golden harvest, giving repeat visits a different backdrop each time.Planning your time by the lake
Most visitors allow a couple of hours for a casual session, though keen anglers often stay longer, working different banks and experimenting with tactics. The small size of the lake means it never feels overwhelming, yet there is enough room to find personal space even when several rods are out. The park’s straightforward layout also helps mixed groups: children can fish within sight of adults, and those less interested in angling can sit with a book or take short strolls around the shore. With its combination of simple facilities, accessible banks and a peaceful rural atmosphere, Nørhå FiskePark functions as an easy half-day escape and a gentle introduction to the fishing culture of northwest Jutland.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
