Otmuchów Lake, Reservoir in Gmina Otmuchów, Poland

The reservoir spans 20.6 square kilometers with a maximum depth of 18 meters, collecting water from the Nysa Kłodzka river drainage basin.

The construction of Otmuchów Lake began in 1928 and concluded in 1933, when authorities inaugurated both the reservoir and its hydroelectric power plant.

The reservoir creates opportunities for local fishing traditions, with abundant populations of zander and other fish species throughout its waters.

Visitors can access the lake facilities for a nominal entry fee of 3 złoty, with parking available at designated spots near the water.

The eastern section contains dense reed beds and willow thickets that provide nesting grounds for grey herons, marsh harriers, and migratory birds.
