The lake is fed by several small streams and snowpack from the surrounding area. The lake is used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The lake also serves as a source of water for irrigation and agricultural purposes. The lake is surrounded by a state park that includes hiking trails, picnic areas, and campsites. The lake is named after the Sauk warrior Black Hawk, who fought against the United States in the Black Hawk War of 1832.
