In July 2008 on the Drwęckie Lake in Ostróda an 800-meter water-ski lift was launched. It is one of the greatest tourist attractions in the region. The water-ski lift ensures a safe and comfortable way of waterskiing because the skier is following one route only. Moreover, it is easier to learn the technique of waterskiing while using the water-ski lift than while following a motor-boat. The safety of the lift users is ensured by an instructor and a lifeguard. On the shore there are changing rooms and showers for water-ski lovers.
On the Drwęckie Lake there is also a professional kayak route where kayak competitions of all categories can be organized. It is equipped with a platform for a referee and auxiliary infrastructure. The former beach, used by the inhabitants and tourists in the 70s of the previous century, has also been recreated. New piers, social and technical facilities have been built and clean sand has been brought. There is also a ski equipment rental.
