The water of the Sonnanen lake is unusually clear and according to some, it is the second clearest lake in Finland. Sonnanen is popular among freedivers and the world record under ice free diving has been made here.

Like many clear lakes in Finland, Sonnanen is also based on a natural spring. On the south side of the lake, there is a public beach but no facilities.
