Växjö lake (Swedish: Växjösjön) is a lake in Växjö Municipality, Sweden. The lake is 6 meters deep, has an area of 0.772 square kilometers and is 160 meters above sea level.[1] Around the lake there is a walking and cycling path, approximately 4.5 kilometres long.
When Växjo's sewage system was initially built in the 1860s it discharged into the lake, leading to serious pollution problems.[2]
