Jezioro Domowe Małe, Urban lake in Szczytno, Poland.
Jezioro Domowe Małe is an urban lake within Szczytno that features gently sloping shores fringed with dense reed beds and cattails. The water body covers several hectares and is surrounded by natural vegetation typical of lowland lakes.
The lake was once clean but experienced significant water quality decline after the Second World War. This eutrophication process unfolded over decades and altered its ecological balance.
The lake draws local anglers who come to fish for bream and roach throughout the seasons. Fishing restrictions in reed zones help protect birds during breeding periods.
A walking path circles the entire lake and connects to bicycle routes for easy exploration of the area. Multiple access points along the shore allow visitors to stop and observe water birds and natural features.
When water levels drop, a temporary island emerges from the lake surface in the middle of the water. This natural feature appears and disappears depending on seasonal rainfall and water conditions.
