Deep Springs Lake is a playa, a seasonal salt lake, generally drying in the summer to produce a salt pan, with surface water replenished in late spring with flows from nearby springs and snowmelt that travels the length of the valley from Wyman and Crooked creeks, which enter from the north.

Birds, and birdwatchers, flock to the Lake during the spring and fall migrations.

Surrounding the lake are numerous springs, some artesian, which gave the valley and the lake its name.
