Lake Bagry

Lake Bagry is a reservoir in southeastern Krakow with designated swimming zones, sandy beaches, and multiple equipment rental stations along its shores. The water is used by sailors, paddlers, and wakeboarders, making it a versatile spot in the city's recreational offerings.

The lake was created by flooding former gravel quarries, transforming an industrial site into a recreational and water sports destination. This conversion shows how worked-over land can be repurposed for public use.

The lake draws water sports enthusiasts and local sailors who gather regularly for training and competitions throughout the year. This community of athletes has shaped the shoreline into a hub for these activities.

The lake is open daily from June through September with lifeguards monitoring the designated swimming zones. Visitors should expect well-maintained paths and clear access to the beaches, with weekends typically busier than weekdays.

The WakePoint facility uses a specialized cable system instead of boats to pull wakeboarders across the water. This setup allows repeated runs without the noise of motors.
