It is 125 acres in area, and drains 1.4 squares miles of watershed. A small stream feeds it from the west, but the main source of water is underground springs. The shoreline drops off fairly sharply on the north and south sides of the lake, with more gradual slopes on the east and west. The water is lowered approximately three feet in October to minimize ice damage to docks and boat houses, and is restored as soon as the ice leaves the lake in the spring.
Water is clear and of good quality.
There is no difficulty in seeing a target in ten feet of water, if the water has is not been disturbed by strong winds or rain for a few days. There are 120 cottages and houses that are built on the shores of the lake, approximately two-thirds of which are seasonal. A municipal sewage system has served the lake since 1976. A public launch is owned and maintained by the PA Fish and Boat Commission on the western side of the lake. The lake has native populations of sunfish, bass, pickerel and yellow perch.
