Rospuda Filipowska, Glacial lake in Suwałki Region, Poland.
Rospuda Filipowska is a glacial lake in the Suwałki Region that spans approximately 3.44 square kilometers with varying depths throughout its basin. The landscape around it shows the characteristic features of a postglacial terrain in northeastern Poland.
The lake marked a natural boundary between Lithuanian and Prussian territories during medieval times, serving as a frontier between rival regions. This role as a border shaped the political and economic significance of the area for centuries.
The lake serves as a gathering place for local people, where traditional fishing and everyday activities shape life along its shores. Fishers use methods handed down through generations, reflecting the region's relationship with its waters.
Visitors can reach the lake through an entry point near Supienie village, where kayaking equipment and camping facilities are available. Water activities are best enjoyed during warmer months when conditions are favorable.
The lake is part of a chain of nine connected water bodies along the Rospuda River, forming a rare aquatic corridor through the landscape. This linked structure makes the area especially appealing for paddling journeys, as one can explore an entire system of interconnected lakes.
