Lake Savonar is located in the Braslav District of the Vitebsk Region, 20 km west of Braslav, within Braslav Lakes National Park.

The lake covers 0.75 km² and reaches a maximum depth of 3.8 m. It is about 1.42 km long and up to 1.01 km wide. The bottom is sandy in the shallows and covered with sapropel in deeper water. The bottom is flat: the western part is shallower (1–2 m), the eastern part is deeper than 3 m, and there is a sandy shoal in the east. The basin slopes, 5–10 m high, are overgrown with scrub.
