The lake is about 1,080 metres (3,540 ft) long and 520 metres (1,710 ft) wide. There are three unnamed inflows at the south, northwest and north. The primary outflow, at the east, is an unnamed creek that flows to Sarsfield Creek between the outflow from Sarsfield Lake upstream and the inflow of Tomwool Creek downstream. Sarsfield Creek flows via Meyers Lake, Woollings Creek, the Whiteclay River, the Black River, the Abitibi River and the Moose River to James Bay.
