The lake is irregularly shaped, along a northwest-southeasterly axis roughly two-thirds of a mile long, 85 acres (34 ha) in surface area when full. One bay on the south side is crossed by the former right-of-way of the Orange & Western Railroad; a stone culvert underneath connects it with the main lake. The northwest end lies in the village of Woodridge, which has built a small park along the lake around a beach that established itself in the early resort days.
