Ffynnon Llugwy lies at a height of about 1,786 feet (544 m) and covers an area of some 40 acres and has a maximum depth of 146 ft (45 m). Since the early twentieth century water has been taken from its outflow, Afon Llugwy to feed Llyn Cowlyd via a series of leats.

Since the mid 1970s the lake has additionally acted as a reservoir for Bangor and eastern Anglesey, which necessitated the laying of an 11-mile pipeline to the water treatment works at Mynydd Llandegai.

Afon Llugwy which flows via Capel Curig and Betws-y-coed before becoming a tributary of the River Conwy.
