The Lagoon is in a basalt plain and originally was a swamp in a natural depression formed volcanic activity.[2] Also known as Anderson's Lagoon, the lake is fed by Langdon's Creek, and its water supplies Birch Creek and the water race for Anderson's Mill, Smeaton.[3] It is a popular fishing location. This lagoon contains trout, redfin and tench.[4]
