Located 35 kilometers from Bursa city center and 90 kilometers from Balıkesir, the lake is just south of the Bursa Karacabey highway.

It is separated from the bird lake in the same depression by a low threshold.
A large freshwater lake was formed in the collapse of the Bursa Gonen collapse and as a result of the movements that took place in the late Neogene or Quaternary, 4 small tubs were formed in this lake area.
