The lake has a 70 km distance from Sari and located in Sari-Semnan road. (About two hour way from Semnan)[5] The lake is 1200 m higher than sea level.[6]

This lake is the main source of water for paddy fields of near villages like Azni, Mazarostaq, Konta, Didu and Zalam.[4] However no river water comes to the lake, rain full fills the lake.[7]

In recent years, fish farming has developed in the lake.

Plenty of various trees, including Carpinus betulus, oak, Ulmus glabra and Tilia, surrounded the lake.[8]
