Approximately half the lake falls within the Robbers Cave WMA with the western half of the lake being part of Robbers Cave State Park. About half the shoreline is fairly suitable to bank fishing. There is no developed boat ramp but a gentle sloping bank allows the launching of boats on the north side of the lake, user assumes all risks. Excellent lake for fishing from smaller craft such as canoes or Kayaks.
