There are deer, moose, herons and raptors that live on or near the lake.[6]

The shoreline around the entire lake is an archaeological potential area.[9]
The lake is fed by Hawk Creek and Little Papineau Creek in the north and empties in the south through Little Papineau Creek which leads to Papineau Lake.[10] The lake is considered a warm water lake.[11]
