Islands, bathing areas and diving

Two summer inland bathing areas have been designated at Siecino: the “Gęsia Łączka” beach in the eastern part of the lake, in the village of Cieszyno, and a beach on Ostrów island. The dates of the bathing season are set by the bathing area's manager. The lake is among those most often chosen by Polish divers because of its good diving conditions.
