Śniardwy, Lake in Masuria, Poland
Lake Śniardwy spreads across 113.8 square kilometers with a length of 22.1 kilometers and a width of 13.4 kilometers, making it Poland's largest lake.
The lake formation occurred during the last glacial period when retreating ice sheets and draining floodwaters shaped the current basin in the Masurian region.
The lake holds importance for local fishing communities who maintain traditional fishing methods passed down through generations in the Masurian Lake District.
Eight islands within the lake, including Szeroki Ostrów and Czarci Ostrów, provide multiple locations for swimming, sailing, and water-based recreational activities.
The interconnected network of canals, known as Kanały Mazurskie, links Śniardwy with six neighboring lakes through a system of navigational sluices.
