The lake is located east-southeast of the center of Budakalász. Its shape is roughly similar to a square, with its sides almost aligned with the four cardinal directions, except for a large indentation at the northwest corner.  History. The lake was created due to gravel mining from sediment deposited here by the Danube. Gravel extraction began in the 1960s, forming the lake’s basin.

The lake’s water surface currently covers about 15 hectares, with an average depth of 3 meters and a maximum depth of around 8 meters. In the early years, the water quality was poor, mainly because untreated sewage was discharged into the lake from several places due to the lack of a proper sewage system in the streets.

These actions proved effective, leading to a gradual improvement in the lake’s water quality.
