It is stocked yearly with rainbow trout, there is no boat launch but it is suitable for paddlers. (Boat motors forbidden)

There is ample parking available (Provincial Park pass required), a fish cleaning hut, as well as a wheelchair-accessible dock for fishing. There is also a covered picnic area and a few fire pits.
