To keep its natural beauty intact, bathing and swimming was already forbidden by the city administration of Innsbruck very early. The lake is under nature conservation. The muddy water has reed-lined shores which often hide big quicksand-like puddles. The water quality fluctuates between A and B grade.[clarification needed] Smaller kinds of carp, roach, and rudd live in the lake and several ducks call the lake home.[2]
