It is about two miles long and is divided in two by the "Narrows," into what as known as the Big Pond and the Little Pond. Bordered by the enclosing slopes of nearby hills, which form the border of the lake intersected as it were by jutting points and receding coves. It is a full recreational lake, which allows both motorboats and jet skis.
