I went last warm weekend, and the crowds were terrible. I used to go often, but now I avoid it. At least the main beach.

Lake Strzeszyńskie is a popular recreational reservoir on the outskirts of Poznań, located in the Poznań Lake District and the source of the Bogdanka River. It has well-developed infrastructure - a guarded swimming area, beach, piers, walking paths and catering facilities, which attracts many residents and tourists. The lake is surrounded by forests and extensive reed beds, and the area is ideal for active recreation, including cycling. Cyclists can get here conveniently via forest or asphalt routes from the city center. It is worth planning a stop - it is a great place for a swim, a picnic or a moment of relaxation by the water.

Be careful on the bends - on weekends there is a lot of pedestrian traffic from the lake

Wonderful place with well maintained paths all around the lake (and more). Gravelly path surface can get a bit muddy in some places.

I advise you to go outside rush hours, i.e. outside the weekend, because otherwise it is a slalom between pedestrians, dogs on and off a leash. On weekend mornings until about 10:00 it is ok.
