These moderate temperatures make the river suitable for various recreational activities.
Swimming in the Lippe is possible in some stretches but not widely practiced due to variable water quality and the presence of boat traffic. Many sections of the river are used for leisure activities such as kayaking, fishing, and nature walks. Swimming is generally advised in designated areas or natural swimming lakes nearby, as water quality can be impacted by agricultural runoff. Local authorities provide water quality updates, and it is essential to follow these guidelines to ensure safe swimming experiences.
