Mietków Lake (Polish: Jezioro Mietkowskie) is the largest lake in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland.[1] The lake is a retention reservoir created when a dam was built on the river Bystrzyca in Mietków, about 45 kilometres south-west of Wrocław.[2] Geographically the lake is located on the Świdnicka Plain; divided by the Bystrzyca Valley, located in the Bystrzyca Valley Landscape Park.[3] The dam's construction began in 1974, and fully filled in 1986. The lake's dam has a length of 3.2 kilometres and a height of 17 metres. The lake's bank is excavated for aggregate, deepening the lake. The lake's water was lowered and the lake was renovated in 2007 and 2011.[4]
