The Zegrze Reservoir (or Zegrze Lake, in Polish Zalew Zegrzyński or Jezioro Zegrzyńskie) is a reservoir in Poland, located just north of Warsaw. It is formed by a dam constructed on the lower course of the Narew river (sometimes also called Bugo-Narew river). It was created in 1963. Its surface area is about 33 km².
Due to convenient nearby location, it is a very popular place of recreation for the inhabitants of Warsaw.
