Zgodba Šmartinskega jezera pri Celju je »zelena« zgodba. Idilična narava okolice okrog jezera kar kliče po obisku. Varna in urejena peš pot od cerkve Sv. Duha do jezera je vsak dan bolj polna – številni sprehajalci, rekreativni tekači, kolesarji kot tudi štirinožni prijatelji so na poti k istemu cilju – na Šmartinsko jezero.
Šmartinsko jezero je samo nekaj minut od centra mesta Celje in je med največjimi umetnimi jezeri Sloveniji. Nastalo je z zajezitvijo potoka Koprivnice, ki se zlije v Savinjo. Jezero je dobilo ime po kraju Šmartno v Rožni dolini. Pozimi jezero večinoma zamrzne in se na njem lahko na lastno odgovornost drsamo ali tekamo na smučeh.
Pikniki in ostala druženja v naravi so priljubljena oblika preživljanja prostega časa predvsem ob vikendih. Še posebej če boste do jezera prikolesarili, se vam bo počitek na travi ob jezeru vsekakor prilegel. Ob jezeru so številni ponudniki, ki oddajajo piknik prostor ali vam celo organizirajo piknik.
O ribah v Šmartinskem jezeru krožijo različni miti – vsekakor pa velja, da ribiči z ulovom na jezeru ne boste razočarani. Ribolov je na Šmartinskem jezeru že od nekdaj priljubljen.
