The main outflow of Lake Rose is an unnamed tributary of Kitchen Creek.

[3] Lake Rose is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Red Rock.

[6] In 1990, Northeastern Geology stated that Lake Rose "appears on the map but not in reality".

In the middle of the 20th century, the state of Pennsylvania condemned the dam and drained the lake.

[5] Certain types of wildlife can occur in the vicinity of Lake Rose, depending on the time of year.

Birds in this area include white-throated sparrows, mallard ducks, and evening grosbeaks.
