The deepest point is about {{convert|50|ft|m}}. Riparian flows are regulated by a four-foot square gated conduit. High flows pass over a {{convert|110|ft|m|sing=on}} wide concrete chute spillway. The reservoir stores about {{convert|24500|acre.ft}} and covers an area of about {{convert|1580|acre|km2}}. The drainage area is about {{convert|1260|sqmi|km2}} and extends well into Riding Mountain National Park. The province maintains a park and campground on the west shore.
