The Lepenica lake is the largest reservoir in the Fužine area. It was built in 1988 and has a maximum depth of 18 metres. Its surface area and water quantity are significantly greater than those of the Bajer lake. In summer, the lake is suitable and pleasant for swimming (with temperatures reaching higher than 23 °C) and as of 2025, it will have its own tourist boat.

The lake is swarming with fish, making it a real treat for anglers.

Every year, underwater orienteering competitions are hosted at the lake.
