The lake is no longer accessible for recreation as its water levels have dropped drastically since the 1920s.

The lake is relatively shallow, only allowing for paddle boats such as canoes or kayaks.

High salinity levels stunt the growth of algae and are responsible for the loss of fish life and the white residue found along the shoreline.

The largest of these basins is Miquelon Lake.
