The lake is about 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) long and 120 metres (390 ft) wide at its widest point and 66 acres (27 ha) in area.

The lake is on NY 301 just west of the Taconic State Parkway.

In the winter, some cross-country skiers use the flat surface as a trail.

The Appalachian Trail parallels the west side of the lake.
