This body of water is near Comabbio and Varese lakes, not far from Lake Maggiore. The municipalities of Cadrezzate, Travedona Monate, Comabbio, and Osmate overlook it.
It has no tributaries but only one emissary, the Acquanegra Stream, which flows into Lake Maggiore near the Golden Sands of Monvalle.

The only public access to Lake Monate is near Cadrezzate Park: swimming is prohibited, but canoeing and paddle boating are allowed. Motorboats are banned, in order to fight pollution and protect the natural environment as a S.I.C. (Site of Community Interest).

Visitors can swim only at the beaches in Travedona Monate and Cadrezzate (Park of Cadrezzate), as well as a private club nearby – they’re safe also for children, paddleboats can be rented, and there some facilities for tourists.
