Lake Abyata is a terminal lake, and is fed by rivers, Hora Kelo, Bulbula and Gogesa. It's located west of Lake Langano, some 200 kilometers (124 miles) south of Addis Ababa, in the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER), at an altitude of 1,581 meters (5,186 feet).
The lake is 14 kilometers (9 miles) long, and is up to 11 kilometers (7 miles) wide. Lakes Abyata and Shala form part of the Abyata-Shala National Park, and were known as feeding and breeding sites for vast flocks of birds, respectively. However, due to human activities, Lake Abyata appears to be shrinking at alarming rate.
