The laketrough is surrounded by precipitous cliffs 400-1,200 m high.

The water surface of Toba lake is 905 m above sea level and about 1,100 km2 wide. The total area of the lake, including the areas of Samosir and Paradapur Islands, amounts to 1,780 km2. The mountains around the lake are called Batak Highlands. The only draining river from L.
