Goksjø sits at an elevation of 28 metres (92 ft) above sea level.

[2][3] The lake is surrounded by rural agricultural lands, and flooding occurs on a regular basis.

[4] The rivers Storelv and Skorgeelva (the two most important inlets) both flow into the northern part of the lake.

The first element is derived from the old male name Gautr which may have been corrupted to Gok over the centuries.
