This lake is also called Pelle Azni because of the nearby village, Azni.[4] The lake has a 70 km distance from Sari and is located on Sari-Semnan road. (About two hour way from Semnan)[5] The lake is 1200 m higher than sea level.[6]
This lake is the main source of water for paddy fields of near villages like Azni, Mazarostaq, Konta, Didu and Zalam.[4] However no river water comes to the lake, rain full fills the lake.[7]
Plenty of various trees, including Carpinus betulus, oak, Ulmus glabra and Tilia, surrounded the lake.[8]
