The Wardersee, together with the Kembser See, the Seedorfer See and the Seekamper See, is the remnant of an ice dam lake that was formed between terminal moraines in the west and the ice edge in the east at the end of the Weichselian glacial period.

The privately owned Wardersee is crossed by the Trave River, its largest tributary. Another tributary is the Bißnitz River. One of the 15 largest lakes in Schleswig-Holstein, Wardersee is now around 45 hectares smaller than when it was surveyed in 1875. This is due to the development of the Trave River at the beginning of the 20th century, which lowered the lake's water level by one meter. This also explains the considerable expansion of the reed zone in some areas of the shoreline. The peninsula near the village of Warder, approximately 80 meters long and 55 meters wide, was an island until the Trave River was developed (around 1910). In the mid-19th century, remains of settlements were discovered on this site, dating to the period between 800 and 1150 AD. Among them are the remains of the episcopal manor house of Nezenna.

Federal Highway 432 crosses the lake in a west-east direction near the town of Warder.

Wardersee is known for its exceptional abundance of fish. One of Schleswig-Holstein's native white-tailed eagle pairs nests on its shores. The fishing rights are leased to a fisherman.

Around Wardersee are three former noble estates: Gut Wensin, Gut Rohlstorf, and Gut Pronstorf.
