It's a huge and scenic lake, formed 52,000 years ago in a volcanic explosion. Travellers often spend a few days here while exploring Sumatra.
One of the things you do is swim in the lake, usually in one of its 'hot springs' areas. I had a swim, and revelled in the perfect warm water conditions. I swam around and tried to locate the edges of the warm area, but couldn't find them. I was a bit hindered by my fear of the buffalo that was sharing the water with me. Saw later that it was in fact tethered to the shore, so I needn't have worried!
