The surrounding villages are called Koggala, Kathaluwa and Habaraduwa. People from the Koggala village live on fishing on this lake.

This lake is also used occasionally as the landing area for the seaplanes by the nearby hotels.

There are several islands in the Koggala Lake, some of them are inhabited. On two of these islands, monasteries were built.
