The Bydgoszcz Regatta Course is a water reservoir located in Bydgoszcz, in the lower section of the Brda River, used as a boat racing venue. It uses waters of the Brda River thanks to a roller dam controlling the flow into the estuary section of the river. The reservoir is separated from the Vistula River by an embankment and a causeway.

It is the oldest regatta area in Poland, created as a national center for water sports in the interwar period.^[1] It is nowadays one of the most important water bodies used for rowing and kayaking races in the country.
