Lake Rybnickie - a reservoir created by damming the waters of the Ruda and Nacyna rivers with a dam in Rybnik Stodoły, the reservoir was put into operation in December 1971. The dam is 13 meters high and 920 meters long, the top of the dam is accessible to pedestrians and cyclists, the reservoir area is 4.5 km², capacity is 22 million m³, maximum depth is 9 meters, the length of the reservoir is 4.5 kilometers and the average width together with the steering wheel is 1200 meters. The reservoir was divided into 2 parts by a concrete embankment, the so-called "steering wheel" which extends from the power plant towards OSW Stodoły, it is an investment accompanying the large Rybnik power plant located on its banks, the water from the reservoir is used to cool the turbines. The power plant produces about 7% of the energy produced in Polish power plants. The reservoir also serves as an anti-flood function.
In the winter, the dam is closed.
