The lake lies at an elevation of 168 m (551 ft),[1] has a surface area of 5.97 km2 (2.31 sq mi), and a water volume of 130,432,000 m3 (4.6062×109 cu ft).[2] It serves as a reservoir for the hydroelectric power station in Årøy.[1] The primary inflow of the Hafslovatnet is via the short river Soget from the lake . The primary outflow is the river Årøyelvi, which flows south into the Barsnesfjord, an inner part of the Sogndalsfjord, which, in turn, is a northern branch of the Sognefjord.[3]
