The Lake of Galilee is on the northern end of the rift valley. It is the world's lowest (680 feet below sea level) freshwater lake. It is about 150 feet at its deepest. The lake covers about ninety square miles.
In Jesus' time the lake was a rich fishing place. Several villages were built around the lake and it was important for the local economy. It was also important for Jesus' disciples, as Jesus chose seven of his followers from the lake.
