Lake Duluti covers about 63 hectares (160 acres), and the surrounding Duluti Forestry Reserve covers about 19 hectares (47 acres) of land. The deepest part of the lake, in its center, is about 9 m (30 ft) deep; the shallow parts are at the lake's shore, where the depth varies from side to side. A road from the Arusha-Moshi road leads to a restaurant on the Northern shore of the lake, where canoes can be hired. [5]
