It belongs to the basin of Lake Ladoga, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the east.

It has an irregular shape, with two bays separated by a peninsula, and several islands including the largest, Barsukovy and Troynoy.

The shores are populated with the settlements of Otradnoye, Plodovoye, Uralskoye, Solnechnoye, Kutuzovskoye, Yablonovka, Krasnopolye and Tsvetkovo.

A stretch of the A129 highway connecting Saint Petersburg and Sortavala via Priozersk runs along the western shore, whereas other local roads have access to A129, as well as to the shore of Lake Ladoga.

The Saint Petersburg – Hiitola railroad runs along the western shore, too, with Otradnoye platform near the lakeshore.
