The lake is fed by several rivers and streams, including the San Joaquin River, and is an important source of water for irrigation in the region. Snowmelt from the surrounding mountains also contributes to the lake's water supply. The area around Florence Lake is popular for recreational activities like fishing, hiking, and camping. The lake is also home to several species of fish, including rainbow trout and brown trout, and is stocked annually by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The lake's hydroelectric power plant generates electricity for Southern California Edison's customers.
