The Lake is one of about 24 clear, clean lakes located in a special wilderness area known as the Sylvania Wilderness, which in turn is located within the Ottawa National Forest a few miles (6 to 8 km) to the west of the town of Watersmeet.

The shoreline is completely undeveloped, and surrounded by virgin forest consisting mainly of hemlock and pine.

This crystal-clear spring-fed lake is one of the most remote in the Sylvania Tract, but is well worth the journey for those intrepid enough to make it.

The total surface area of the lake is 346 acres (1.4 km2), with maximum depths of 55 ft (17 m).

Several smaller islands and numerous rocky shoals add to the overall beauty of this fine body of water.
