The village has agrotourism farms. The nearby Łaśmiady lake is a reservoir with a developed shoreline, with three small islands. The lake is surrounded by fields, pastures and meadows. Łaśmiady connects with the Ułówki and Straduńskie lakes. The Ełk River flows through the lake.

Lake Wydmińskie is located in Masuria, in the picturesque area of the village of Wydminy. It is a peaceful body of water, ideal for lovers of kayaking, sailing and fishing, as well as for those looking for a rest away from the crowds. There are numerous walking and cycling paths around the lake, and in the season there are several bathing areas with piers. It is worth taking comfortable shoes and something for mosquitoes, especially when planning evening runs.

Wooden bridge joining the island and the rest of the town. Including some platforms where one can sunbathe or jump straight to the water. Picturesque viewpoint.
