Łebsko Lake (Kashubian : Jezoro Łebsczo; Polish : Jezioro Łebsko) is a brackish coastal lake in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of Poland. It is connected to the Baltic Sea by the Łeba River, which causes saltwater intrusion. [1] It is located within Słowiński National Park. The lake formed when sea winds pushed up a spit of sand that ultimately separated it from the Baltic sea. [2] The town of Łeba sits where the Łeba river meets the sea. [1]
