Piton de l'Eau is a small volcanic cone within the Piton de la Fournaise massif, on the slopes of La Plaine-des-Palmistes that rise toward the Rempart de la Rivière de l'Est. The sources record no eruption date or formation age for the cone; its summit reaches 1,887 metres according to IGN maps.

The crater lake sits in a volcanic depression at 1,887 metres, on the slopes of La Plaine-des-Palmistes above the Rivière de l'Est. The site lies within the Piton de la Fournaise massif, and the lake holds water year-round, a detail walkers notice when they reach the rim.

The summit lies at 1,887 metres on the slopes of La Plaine-des-Palmistes, above the Rivière de l'Est rampart overlooking the Fond de la Rivière de l'Est. The crater holds water all year, so the rim path can be wet; plan for high-altitude conditions and check the weather before setting out.

The crater that holds the lake lies on the slopes of La Plaine-des-Palmistes, above the rempart of the Rivière de l'Est, which overlooks the Fond de la Rivière de l'Est. The summit reaches 1,887 metres according to the maps of the Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière.
