The Wyżary small retention reservoir was created in 1970 as a reservoir on the Radulinka River for firefighting purposes. Next to it is a well-maintained recreational area with a large shelter, places for a bonfire, a bicycle stand, and benches. A nature and educational path has been built along the reservoir, running all the way to the Chomontowszczyzna Reserve.

The reservoir was created in 1942, during the German occupation. The workforce for the construction of this investment was Polish Jews. There are two versions of the purpose for which the reservoir was built: - the first mentions German soldiers-patients staying in a nearby military hospital, located in barracks buildings. Perhaps they wanted to create a kind of resort for them - according to the second version, it was related to the lowering of the groundwater level due to the drainage of the Sokółka marshes, which began before the war.

In 2023, the reservoir underwent a thorough reconstruction. Unfortunately, L.P. they did not take care of the tourist infrastructure. There is not a single bench. As with most such reservoirs in the Białystok area.
