The lake has an unusual pear-like shape, the northern side looks like a bottleneck. The lake is 443 meters long and 144 meters wide in the central part. The perimeter of the lake is 753 meters, the area of ​​the lake is 30348 square meters.
The lake was formed due to a landslide that descended from the eastern slope of the gorge and an ancient moraine stretching from the southeast to the northwest, which almost blocked the gorge, joining with the landslide.
A moraine lake in the bed of the Karakiya River is located 1.2 kilometers to the southwest.
