The lake stretches across 16.5 square kilometers with an average depth of 9 meters and reaches maximum depths of 22 meters at certain points.

The western section of Mossø contained multiple medieval religious structures, including the Cistercian Øm Monastery and the Benedictine Over Monastery at Klostermølle.

The lake forms part of the Danish Lakelands region, where visitors participate in recreational fishing, birdwatching, and cycling along the 28-kilometer perimeter route.

The Gudenå River flows through Mossø, connecting it to Silkeborg Lakes in the north and Skanderborg Lake, making it accessible for canoeing activities.

White-tailed eagles have established breeding grounds at Mossø, marking an uncommon occurrence in Danish wildlife populations and highlighting its ecological importance.
