    Mucharskie Lake (name used until 2018: Świnna Poręba Reservoir) - a dam reservoir on the Skawa River.
    The reservoir is located in the communes of Mucharz, Stryszów and Zembrzyce. The dam is situated on the 26.6 km of the Skawa River.
    The dam is 54 m high and 604 m long.
    The dam in Świnna Poręba is one of the longest-running hydrotechnical investments. Already in the 1950s, the first land development plan was developed. Its construction started in 1986; in the years 1988–1992, the Wadowice-Skawce railway line, which ran through the area of the planned reservoir, was dismantled. Due to financial problems related to the economic changes after 1989, the works were delayed.

      The dam is a modern hydrotechnical structure. It was officially put into operation on July 26, 2017. It's been over 30 years since the first work started in 1986. Paradoxically, such a long investment implementation time had a positive impact on the final result. In terms of construction, it is an earth dam. The height of the dam is 54 m and its length is 604 m. On the water side, the dam body is secured with concrete slabs. The building complex also includes a hydroelectric power plant generating 4.4 MW of electricity.
      The dam is open to visitors during the holiday season until October 2 (on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.)
