The northeast, north and west shores are bordered by citrus groves. A swampy area is on the south shore and a grassy area is along the southeast shore.[3]
Lake Eva is completely surrounded by private property. There is no public access to Lake Eva other than a canal on the lake's southwest that connects to nearby Lake Alfred. However, this canal is too shallow to be navigated by any boats and it is sometimes dry.
