The lake, which is an oxbow lake of the Vistula, is located in the north-western part of Kozienice. It has been divided into two parts by means of wooden platforms: a larger one - for adults (the water is 6 meters deep at its deepest point!) and a smaller and much shallower one, which will appeal to families with children. The swimming area is guarded by WOPR lifeguards with a motor boat. You can swim on the lake with pedal boats and kayaks, which are available at the water equipment point. The lake is highly rated by anglers - you can catch pike, zander, perch, bream and roach there. Recommended fishing spots are located in the northern, quieter part of the reservoir. Kozienickie Lake is located at ul. Bohaterów Studzianek 30. In the summer season, the swimming pool is open from 10.00 to 18.00. Free admission.

Lake Czaple is located in Sieciechów. It is the largest lake in the Kozienice district. The picturesquely situated reservoir has an area of over 17 hectares and is mostly surrounded by fields. There are more fishing spots on the north side, but access to them is often difficult, especially after rain. The dirt road leading to the water then becomes very muddy. On the other hand, from the city side there is a small beach and a pier next to it
