The Ume River flows through the lake and has a maximum depth of 148 meters.[3] At the southeastern end is the town of Storuman.

The lake consists of two clearly distinguishable parts. The approximately 30 kilometer long northwestern part is narrow and winding and is surrounded by 400 to 500 meter high, steep mountainsides. Here the lake is up to 112 meters deep with a simultaneous width of 500 meters. The southeastern part is up to 6 kilometers wide with almost continuous shorelines. In this area there are flat surroundings and protruding sandy headlands.[4] In the southern part of the lake there is also the island of Luspholmen.
