It is a natural lake formed by six basins fed by springs, some of the water sources are salt water though Banyoles is a fresh water lake. The crystal clear waters are a magnet for recreational activities both on the lake and on the shore.

The parkland which surrounds the lake has areas of trees planted to great effect, particularly Silver Birches and Poplars.
