The water leaves the lake primarily through the river Vorma which flows east to the village of Vormstad where it joins the river Orkla. The lake Gangåsvatnet lies about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the north. At the southern tip of Hostovatnet there is a short connection to the lake Ringavatnet. The lake is good for fishing trout and Arctic char.
