This lake is can reach by traveling through the sub-district of Batu Brak or Sekincau sub-district with a travel time of approximately 4 hours drive from the capital city of Liwa.

Meanwhile, not far from the lake area a traveler can see an interesting natural phenomenon in the form of geothermal sources.

Suoh lake is situated in the hamlet of Kalibata, Sukamarga Village, District Suoh, about 250 kilometers from Bandar Lampung or 40 kilometers from the city of Liwa.

The area of Suoh Lake is a "complex" consisting of four lakes, namely: Asam Lake, Minya Lake, Belibis Lake, and Lebar Lake. The names have reportedly taken from the conditions around the lake. For example, the name given to Asam (acid) lake is because the lake water tastes very sour. Approximately 300 meters to the south of the lake there is Minyak (oil) lake which the water surface looks like oil floating. Furthermore, Belibis (grouse) Lake is taken from the flock of grouse that often come to look for fish. The condition of Belibis Lake is not maintained and overgrown with high weeds around the lake. Meanwhile, Lebar (wide) Lake is not known for certain meaning or condition.
