There's a lot of information about the lake in the hardcover, including things like competitions in the lake. Many of the town's priests do regular water purification rituals (casting lots and lots of purify food and drink spells) on the water, though, since the place also has regular sewage problems. There are indeed fish in the lake; mostly trout. And later in the campaign there's some pretty significant encounters that involve the lake...

Also, because of the sewage issue mentioned by James Jacobs, the lake has a bit of a stench to it even though the city's priests regularly purify it to make it safe for drinking. For this reason (as well as the lake's propensity to flood during the rainy season), the lakeside is mostly occupied by the lower class, warehouses, and the like. Cauldron's nobility and upper classes try to build their manors as far from the lake as possible.

It is more a large pond than a lake. I have use the lake as a neutral ground – from prisoner exchanges to diplomatic or romantic encounter. You could put a boat fighting competition scene during the flood season chapter.
