Lake Niinsaare is located 0.5 km north-west of Lake Kurtna Nõmmejärv. It used to be a 7.7 ha (19 acres) closed lake. In 1963, a ditch was dug in Lake Mustjärve from Lake Kurtna Suurjärvi, which caused the water level in Lake Niinsaare to drop significantly. By the summer of 1968, at least 50% of the lake was dry.[2]
