The lake is eutrophic. It receives most of its water from the tributary Matchaponix Brook and Devoe Lake. Most of the water flows out to the South River.
The lake is a popular fishing site. Fish found in the lake include brown bullhead, bluegill sunfish and largemouth bass.
The lake is co-owned by the DuPont company, Ashland Inc., and the Borough of Sayville. DuPont, together with the Hercules and National Lead corporations, created the lake in the 1930s by partially damming the South River.
