    The Łąka reservoir (the so-called Łąka Lake) - an artificial reservoir was created in 1987 as a result of the construction of a dam on the Pszczynka River, 3 kilometers west of Pszczyna.
    The earth dam is 1130 meters long, the dam is 6 meters high, the surface of the reservoir is 3.53 km² and its total capacity is 11.15 million m³, the length of the reservoir is 3.6 kilometers, the average width is 700 meters, the maximum depth is 3.5 meters.
    The tasks of the reservoir include, among others, reducing the risk of flooding, i.e. equalizing the flows on the Pszczynka River, supplying industrial water to the mines of the Rybnik Region Węgłowy RÓW. It is also an equalizing reservoir for the nearby Goczałkowickie Lake and creating conditions for recreation and relaxation.


    Access to the vicinity of the front dam is hassle-free, the dam is open to cyclists and pedestrians. It is worse with driving along dirt roads along the reservoir because some of them are in poor condition with potholes. Lake Łąka is a great place for rest and recreation. During weekends, in the summer time of the year, it is difficult to find silence over the reservoir (a swimming pool, a lot of anglers and water scooters).
    The largest beach is in the town of Łąka, there is also a yacht marina with water equipment rentals available; boats, kayaks, pedal boats and even windsurf boards. There are also football and beach volleyball fields within the swimming pool area. The Water Sports Center in Łąka, where there is also a campsite and places for barbecues or bonfires, there is a guarded municipal bathing area, and in summer there are even floating jetties, which have created a special swimming pool where you can walk.

      The tasks of the reservoir include, among others, reducing flood risk, i.e. equalizing flows on the Pszczynka River, supplying industrial water to the mines of the Rybnik Coal District of RÓW. It is also a compensating reservoir for the nearby Goczałkowickie Lake and creating conditions enabling recreation and relaxation.
