The lake is the biggest in the Sultan Reedy National Park. The midpoint is at about 38°20′N 35°17′E / 38.333°N 35.283°E / 38.333; 35.283. The elevation of its surface level is at 1,071 m (3,514 ft) above mean seas level.[2] It is a shallow lake with an average depth of only 2 m (6.6 ft).[3]

Its average surface area is about 20 km2 (7.7 sq mi).[2] While it covers a much wider surface during the rainy season, its area fluctuates and it mostly dries up in the summer season.[3] When at low ebb, salt is produced in the lake bed.
