The reservoir has a surface area of 163 acres and is fed by Long Branch Creek, which also provides a source of water for nearby farms. The lake is maintained by the Long Branch Lake Association, which is responsible for monitoring water quality and maintaining the surrounding ecosystem. The reservoir is a popular spot for recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and swimming. Additionally, the lake is used for agricultural purposes, providing water for crops and livestock. The hydrology of the reservoir is partly dependent on surface flow from Long Branch Creek and snowpack from surrounding areas, which can impact water levels during periods of drought or heavy precipitation.
