Clean public restrooms and concessions are available, including a wide variety of fishing tackle, live and artificial baits, and other fishing supplies, as well as drinks and refreshments. An accessible fishing pier makes it easy to reach deeper water without using a boat. Boats are also available for rent; a launching ramp is available for anglers with their own boats. Boats may have an outboard motor attached, but anglers may not use the outboard motor, only the trolling motor. Self-contained camping (for campers, but no hook-ups) and primative camping are allowed ($10). Picnic pavilion is available ($10 - call for the lake manager for reservations).
Bass fishing is good year-round, with the biggest usually caught from February through April when they are near the bank. Bluegill (bream) and redear sunfish (shellcracker) are caught by bank and boat anglers from late spring through summer. Catfish are caught year-round, but the summer months are best. Crappie fishing is best from late February through April.
