Lake Powidz is known for its clean, clear water, a long ribbon lake in the Powidz Landscape Park with forested shores, quiet bays and small marinas at Powidz and Ostrowo. It is gentle, beautiful sailing well away from the busier Masurian lakes.
In season: May–Sep · Peak: Jun–Aug
Light to moderate winds on sheltered water, long reaches along the lake and good swimming stops. The full shoreline circuit makes a long day.
