The nearest towns are Voronikha to the north and Borovskoye, formerly known as Bakhmatovo, located near the southern lakeshore.

The lake has an elongated shape, stretching roughly from northeast to southwest for over 14 kilometers (8.7 mi).

The shores are flat and often deeply indented, forming bays and peninsulas.

The main fish species is the crucian carp, but gudgeon and Eurasian minnow are also found.
