The outflow of the lake is the Piesalanjoki, which begins from the southern part of Petäjävesi and flows into Suolivesi. The administrative center of Petäjävesi, Petäjäveden kirkonkylä, is located by the lake, along with the villages of Piesalankylä and Karikonkylä. Both the Finnish national road 23 and the Haapamäki–Jyväskylä railway cross the lake.
