The retention reservoir, commonly called Lake Łąka, was created in 1987 on the Pszczynka River. It is located north of Lake Goczalkowickie and west of Pszczyna. In addition to flood protection, it is also a great place for rest and recreation. There is a Water Sports Center on the southern shore of the lake. You can use the sandy beach for a fee, there are also barbecue areas and many other attractions. The eastern shore of the reservoir is a dam whose length is 1,130 meters.

The tasks of the reservoir include, among others, reducing flood risk, i.e. equalizing flows on the Pszczynka River, supplying industrial water to the mines of the Rybnik Coal District of RÓW. It is also a compensating reservoir for the nearby Goczałkowickie Lake and creating conditions enabling recreation and relaxation.

Goczałkowickie Lake (Goczałkowicki Reservoir) - a dam reservoir on the Vistula, created in 1956 by damming river waters with the dam in Goczałkowice-Zdrój in the Silesian Voivodeship. The maximum area of the reservoir is 3200 ha, and the total capacity is about 168 million m³. The dam is 2,980 m long. It is a retention reservoir supplying water to a part of the Upper Silesian Industrial District, providing 38% of treated surface water for Górnośląskie Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów S.A. in Katowice. In addition to water supply, it also performs retention and economic functions (fisheries). The vicinity of the reservoir is a breeding ground for many bird species. The area of the reservoir is in the prohibition zone, with no entry to its area. The dam crown has been made available for pedestrians and cyclists, creating a "walking part" connecting Goczałkowice-Zdrój with Zabrzeg, thanks to which the area of the Goczałkowice reservoir has become a recreational place. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jezioro_Gocza%C5%82kowickie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YzAOmdMihQ

The tasks of the reservoir include, among others, reducing the risk of flooding, i.e. equalizing the flows on the Pszczynka River, supplying industrial water to the mines of the Rybnik Region Węgłowy RÓW. It is also an equalizing reservoir for the nearby Goczałkowickie Lake and creating conditions for recreation and relaxation. Access to the vicinity of the front dam is hassle-free, the dam is open to cyclists and pedestrians. It is worse with driving along dirt roads along the reservoir because some of them are in poor condition with potholes. Lake Łąka is a great place for rest and recreation. During weekends, in the summer time of the year, it is difficult to find silence over the reservoir (a swimming pool, a lot of anglers and water scooters). The largest beach is in the town of Łąka, there is also a yacht marina with water equipment rentals available; boats, kayaks, pedal boats and even windsurf boards. There are also football and beach volleyball fields within the swimming pool area. The Water Sports Center in Łąka, where there is also a campsite and places for barbecues or bonfires, there is a guarded municipal bathing area, and in summer there are even floating jetties, which have created a special swimming pool where you can walk.
