Much of the lake is lined with boat docks, a favorite hiding place for bass and crappie. The bass fishing is good enough to be a popular lake for bass tournaments. Some unimproved areas do allow access to the shore for fishing from the bank. Boat ramps are open to the public for launching boats, with no horsepower limits, for water sports, sightseeing and fishing.
