With a surface of 344 km², it is the second largest lake in the country after Lake Taupo and the largest lake in the South Island before Lake Wakatipu. Sometimes it is up to 270m deep. Most of the lake is within the boundaries of the Fiordland National Park and thus within the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Site.
