Construction work has been completed, and a pontoon dock has been put into operation in Vilgāle Lake, Kurmāle Parish. A new wooden dock, 49 meters long and 2 meters wide, with a 6-meter-wide terminal pontoon featuring a relaxation bench and metal stairs for convenient water access, has been built on the pontoons. The dock is perfectly suited for both swimmers and anglers.
As part of the project, a reed strip along the lake was cleared, dry trees and shrubs were removed, and the shoreline was levelled. Additionally, a changing cabin was installed. The new infrastructure has improved accessibility to Vilgāle Lake, making it an even more attractive recreational spot.
These improvements were carried out under project No. LL-00011, “Development of the water routes network in Latvia and Lithuania by further expanding the cross-border tourism product www.riverways.eu” (“WaterWays”). The project aims to promote water tourism in Latvia and Lithuania by creating a network of navigable rivers and lakes with recreational activities. The project is funded by the Interreg VI-A Latvia–Lithuania Programme 2021–2027.
