The lake covered about 80 hectares and lied in the area of Stahlhofen am Wiesensee's various centres on the lake's west shore, and Pottum on the north shore in the Westerwaldkreis. The community of Winnen borderd on the lake to the southeast. The lake was a nature conservation area, and only parts of the water surface were open for recreational use.
It was a holiday and tourist destination. Several hotels, a luxury hotel and golf course lied near the shore. Many leisure facilities in the winter and summer made the Wiesensee attractive for athletes, young families and youth. Around the lake ran a roughly 6.5-km-long hiking path loop.
