It is 208 meters long, its width varies from 48.8 to 85.2 meters. Its surface is variable, depending on the water level, and ranges from 1.52 to 1.7 hectares. It contains 65,000 cubic meters of drinking water. The greatest recorded depth is on its northern side and is 9 meters. The length of the coast is 570 meters.

The coast is arranged as a promenade. There are deciduous forests around the lake. The town of Ružica is located above the lake.
