The lake covers an area of 420 ha. It is also fed by a branch of the River Siagne.
The lake is a favourite fishing spot for anglers of all nationalities. The carp and catfish in particular are very large. It also serves as a training area for rowing clubs and a scooping site for Canadair amphibious aircraft during forest fires.
