Zemplínska šírava (sometimes called the "Slovak sea") is a dam and lake in eastern Slovakia, near the town of Michalovce, wholly belonging to the Michalovce District. The name recalls the historical Zemplín region. The dam was built in 1961-1965, covers an area of 33 km², has an average depth of 9.5 metres, with a maximum of 14 m. Water from the dam flows into the Laborec river, which in turn flows into the Bodrog river. The area is primarily used for recreation.
