Lake Czorsztyn, Artificial reservoir in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.

Lake Czorsztyn stretches across 11 square kilometers between the Pieniny and Gorce Mountains, reaching depths of 50 meters at its deepest points.

The construction of the Niedzica Dam in 1995 created Lake Czorsztyn, transforming the Dunajec River valley into a water management system for flood prevention.

Two medieval structures, Niedzica Castle and Czorsztyn Castle ruins, stand on opposite shores of the lake, representing historical Polish architecture.

Visitors can participate in water activities from May through September, with designated swimming areas and boat rentals available at multiple access points.

The reservoir's water level fluctuates seasonally, creating a surface area that varies between 4.15 and 13.35 square kilometers throughout the year.
