With the swimming season in full swing, Lithuania's Environmental Protection Department is issuing a crucial reminder to the public about regulations concerning recreation near water bodies.

While citizens are welcome to enjoy leisure time by lakes and rivers, the department emphasizes the importance of adhering to all legal requirements. This includes respecting private property rights and maintaining environmental protection standards.

The department clarifies that the right to access shorelines, even those bordering private lakes, is permitted. However, this access is contingent upon the public's responsibility to respect private ownership and actively protect the surrounding environment.
