Lake Domowe Duże (surface area 54 ha, maximum depth 7.2 m) is one of the two lakes lying in the town limits of Szczytno. For years, despite its large recreational potential, the lake had beenrarely exploited by town residents or visitors due to its classless water quality. The restoration project initiated in 2010 has raised interest in spending leisure time on this lake. The natural conditions affecting the lake’s waterfront have been analyzed, as well as the impact of the lake’s morphometric properties and the land management along the shoreline on a possible use of the lake for recreation, including angling.The results suggest that owing to its large size and morphometric diversity, as well as the recently developed infrastructure for the tourism industry, Lake Domowe Duże can serve various forms of recreation. The improvement of the lake’s water quality achieved in recent years has created opportunities for water recreational activities and enhanced the angling quality of this water body
