Lake Ełckie is attractive to those traveling on land and on water. Although in the latter case there are restrictions for sailors in the form of a bridge or lack of connection with other lakes. Kayakers can raft down the Ełk River, which flows into and out of the lake. Pedestrians can walk along the promenade on either side of the lake. Cyclists can ride around the lake.
