Fussing Sø ligger smukt placeret med stejle skråninger fra det omkringliggende kuperede landskab ned mod søen. Søen har rent, klart vand og er omgivet af 30 m høje, dyrkede skrænter med mindre skovpartier. Den ujævne søbund er trugformet og når ned til 29 m. dybde. Tilløb til søen sker primært gennem en række kilder på søens bund. Den udfylder omtrent bunden af en 4 km lang tunneldal der skærer sig dybt ned i det 50-70 m høje, smalle morænelandskab mellem Skals Ådal og Nørreådalen.
Søen er efter danske forhold meget dyb, og med den vindbeskyttede beliggenhed opstår der en temperaturlagdeling af vandmasserne hver sommer. Lagdelingen medfører en naturlig betinget iltfri periode i bundvandet. Oplandet er forholdsvist lille, og vandets opholdstid i søen er derfor meget lang. Det tager næsten 8 år fra vandet løber ind ved søens bund til det igen forlader søen gennem Skals Å. Søens vandspejl ligger 16,9 moh. og søen rummer 27,9 mil. kubikmeter vand.
Badning er tilladt i søens vestlige ende hvor der findes en lille strand med fine badeforhold. Lystfiskere har fine muligheder for at fiske efter primært Gedder og Aborre.
Fussing Lake is beautifully located with steep slopes from the surrounding hilly countryside. The lake has clean, clear water and is surrounded by 30 m high, cultivated slopes with minor woodland. The uneven lake bottom is trough-shaped and reaches down to 29 m depth. The inlet to the lake is primarily done through a number of sources on the lake's bottom. It fills almost the entire bottom of a 4 km long subglacial that cuts deep into the 50-70 m tall, narrow moraine between Skals Ådal and Nørreådalen.
The lake is, by Danish standards, very deep, and the wind sheltered location creates a temperature stratification of the water masses every summer. Stratification implies a natural conditional anaerobic period in the bottom water. The catchment area is relatively small, and the waters residence time in the lake is very long. It takes almost 8 years from the water runs into the lake until it leaves the lake through Skals Å. The lake's water level is 16.9 meters above sea level. and the lake holds 27,9 mil. cubic meters of water.
Bathing is permitted in the lake's west end where a small beach with fine bathing facilities is located. The lake offers excellent conditions for recreational fishing, with northern pike and european perch as the primary catches.
