There is a large number of cottages and tourist catering facilities around the lake.

The lake is suitable for summer vacations, sport and recreational activities on the water and fishing.

It is believed that the depths of the lake are inhabited by the gigantic catfishes, up to 3 m (9.8 ft) long with a weight of over 100 kg (220 lb).

Such large specimens have not been caught yet and in July 2017 divers were employed to explore part of the lake.

The divers reached 15 m (49 ft), but did not discover such large fishes, though a few days before the dive, a specimen 1.86 m (6 ft 1 in) long which weighed 37 kg (82 lb) was caught near the mouth of the Boranja River.
