There are four single sheltered picnic tables at the day use area. One of the sheltered tables is along a paved path, however there is a 1 in. tread obstacle from the path the cement pad the table is on. Drinking water is available from a nonaccessible hydrant.

The campground does not have a marked accessible campsite. The road for the campground is paved and the parking pads are gravel. The RV/tent campsites have accessible picnic tables on a grass surface with some clumps/bumps, but the fire rings are not accessible. There are also some RV only sites that the parking pad is paved and there is an accessible picnic table on the pavement. Drinking water is available at the campground but the hydrants are not accessible.

There is a pave boat launch with a floating dock with accessible parking and an accessible comfort station nearby. There is also a fish cleaning station.
