Srebrne Lake (Polish: Jezioro Srebrne, also known as Jezioro Szmaragdowe) is an artificial lake formed by the flooding of a former extraction pit and is used for recreation. It has an area of about 12 ha (30 acres) and a maximum depth of about 17 m (56 ft). The lake lies in a pine forest about 2 km (1.2 mi) from Turawskie Lake, near the settlement of Marszałki.[1]

Although much smaller than Turawskie Lake, Srebrne Lake is popular with tourists due to its sheltered location, facilities and high water quality; its distinctive emerald colour has given rise to the alternative name Szmaragdowe (“Emerald”).[1]
