Lake Wigry is the largest lake in north-eastern Poland (area approx. 2,115 ha) and the most important body of water in the Wigry National Park. It is famous for its clean water, varied shoreline and abundance of fish (about 26 species have been recorded).
The lake lies in the Podlaskie Voivodeship, mainly in Suwałki County (the Suwałki and Nowinka municipalities); the Czarna Hańcza kayaking trail runs across the lake. The post-Camaldolese monastery in Wigry stands by the lake.
