The facilities include nine camping sites, an accessible vault toilet, boat launch, and dock. The boat ramp is closed during spring run-off. A day use area has a covered picnic area and swim dock. No lifeguard. Panoramic views of the Cabinet Mountains add to the recreation experience.

The picnic shelter area has 1-2" gravel that can make accessibility difficult.
