Open between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, the pool is supervised by certified lifeguards. Picnickers will find a wide choice of beautiful spots to dine. Most of them feature tables, grills and pavilions, and many of the areas overlook the huge lake. Playgrounds will delight the kids after a day at the pool or on the lake. The hiking trail allows the visitor to experience and enjoy the park's natural landscape, its bottomland hardwood forest and the lake itself.
Cyclists are welcome to ride the roadways throughout the park.
