Aynabulak village is located 4 kilometers (2.5 mi) to the southeast of the lake.

Its water level has dropped significantly in recent decades and currently there are only two residual pools left.

Most of the remaining surface of the lake is marshy, encumbered with aquatic vegetation.

Migratory birds, such as ducks, swans and geese, nest at the lake in the spring season.
