Nyskie Lake (Polish:Jezioro Nyskie orJezioro Głębinowskie) is areservoir constructed at the confluence of theEastern Neisse andBělá rivers inPoland in 1971. Its name comes from the nearby town ofNysa. The dam that was used to create the reservoir is 2 kilometres (1.2 mi), and 20 metres (66 ft) high. The total area of the lake is 2,000 hectares (4,900 acres), with 124 million cubic meters of water. Before creation of the reservoir, several villages had been resettled. By the lake, ahydroelectric power plant is located.
Together with adjacentOtmuchów Lake, both reservoirs make the Otmuchów-Nysa Area of Protected Landscape (Polish: Otmuchowsko-Nyski Obszar Krajobrazu Chronionego), with several species of birds living in the region. The reservoir is located near the main national road number 46, which goes fromGliwice toKłodzko.
