Lake Bulusan is located within the Bulusan Volcano Natural Park. The area was first designated as a National Park in 1935 and later designated as a Natural Park in 2000 by the National Integrated Protected Areas System.

Bulusan Lake is surrounded by a secondary growth forest that is home to a number of butterfly and bird species. Approximately 41 tree species have been identified in this surrounding forest.

There are no streams or rivers that visibly flow into the lake. The major source of water is considered to be seepage from underground water surrounding the lake. Also,surface runoff contributes to the lake volume,but only during the rainy season.
