Lake Potekh is located in the Braslav District of the Vitebsk Region, 10 km north-east of Braslav, within Braslav Lakes National Park.
The lake covers 1.35 km² and reaches a maximum depth of 9.1 m (average 3.4 m). It is about 2.55 km long and up to 0.95 km wide. The bottom is sandy, clayey in places. The southern slopes are formed by a sandy ridge 25–30 m high.
The Druyka River flows through the lake; in the south-west a wide channel links it to Lake Nedrovo, and a stream from nearby Lake Ilmenek flows in. The lake belongs to the Braslav group: several dozen lakes with a combined area of about 130 km², linked by channels and small rivers, most of them in the Druyka basin.
