Lake Ruda Woda ([ˈruda vɔda]; German: Röthloff See) is a long freshwater ribbon lake in Powiśle region in northern Poland. The lake lies entirely within Gmina Małdyty in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and is an integral part of the Elbląg Canal. Stretching 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) in length, the lake features four distinct bays and several islands. The lakebed is diverse, with numerous depressions and shallows. Shores are mostly high and steep, surrounded by temperate deciduous forest, with only the southern and northern parts bordered by fields and meadows.
Lake’s surroundings are sparsely populated with several villages located nearby, including Wilamowo, Szymonowo, Szymonówko, Sople and Liksajny.
The lake provides fishing and recreation opportunities, including sailing, kayaking and jet skiing. Several public piers scatter around the lake facility access to convenient entry points for swimming and sunbathing. Scouting camp is located in the northern part of the lake.
