It is located in the valley Skalnatá dolina (German Steinbachtal) and its height is 1751 m n.m. Its area is 12,380 m², it measures about 212 × 85 m and is up to 4.5 m deep (only 1.28 m on average) and has a declared volume of 15,874 m³. The only inflow and outflow is the Skalnatý potok (German Steinbach). However, the water level is very variable, since the lake is fed mainly by surface water, the construction of several objects (station of the gondola lift, observatory Skalnaté Pleso) since 1937 and the creation of ski slopes in the vicinity further affect the ecosystem of the lake. The water level can therefore be very low in autumn, and in November 2021 the lake dried up completely.
