The length of the lake is nearly 30 km, the width is 7 km at the widest place, the narrowest place is 200 m, the lake bed is about 47 m deep, the lake has many islands.
A special thing about Cam Son Lake is that the lake’s shore is surrounded by mountains. Residents living near the lake are the villages of the Nung, Tay and Kinh ethnic groups. People in the area around the lake are mainly ethnic groups.
People here travel mainly by boat, and retain many unique cultural features creating charming landscapes.
