You can fish from your boat or along the creek banks that feed the lake. This park has a dock that you can toss a line into. Forgot your fishing gear? You can borrow some from the park's office.

Camp among the towering pines and old oak trees in one of the 151 family campsites. These sites are located in three campgrounds around the park. At each site, you find a fire ring and a picnic table for outside dining.
