It is less that a kilometer from the coastline of Zambales and connected by a navigable river to Sea towards the West, and about 5 kilometers from the foot of to the East. The surrounding land around the lake is generally flat and rural with extensive areas for livelihood projects including reforestation of the mountain. The eastern shore of the lake abounds in mangrove and the lake offers opportunities for aqua-culture and water sports. The West Philippine Sea side is a fish sanctuary with several islands for scuba diving and sailing. The shores of Zambales abounds in beautiful beaches with resort facilities for local tourists.
