Der künstliche Stausee ist sechs Kilometer lang und an den breitesten Stellen etwa einen Kilometer breit und hat ein Wasserfassungsvermögen von 120 Mio. m³. Die Dörfer Reschen, Graun und St. Valentin auf der Haide liegen am Reschensee, wobei Reschen, Graun und die Weiler Kaschon (St. Valentin) und Spin (Graun) unmittelbar am See liegen.
Am Reschenpass gab es bis zur Seestauung 1950 drei Seen: Den Reschensee, den Mittersee (auch Grauner See genannt) und den Haidersee. Bei der Seestauung wurde das gesamte Dorf Graun und ein Großteil des Dorfes Reschen in den Fluten des Stausees versenkt. 163 Häuser wurden zerstört und 523 Hektar an fruchtbarem Kulturboden überflutet. Heute zeugt nur noch der aus dem Reschensee ragende Kirchturm vom versunkenen Alt-Graun.
