Red Cedar Lake is located in the town of Lebanon and is an artificial impoundment in the Thames River Drainage Basin. The watershed is 408 acres of mostly undeveloped woodland with some residential development. The lake is fed by groundwater and surface runoff. It drains northward into Red Cedar Lake Brook, a tributary of the Yantic River. The shoreline is mostly wooded along the eastern shore. The western shore is heavily developed with homes. Undeveloped state land (Mooween State Park) abuts the entire eastern shore.

The transparency of the lake is fair and clear to the bottom. The bottom of the lake consists of sand, gravel, boulders and mud. The fishing is reportedly good for largemouth bass (especially during the early spring), and fair for yellow perch and sunfish.
