The western portion of the swamp is popular with fishermen. A river sill built in 1957 and a natural sand ridge keep the waters unnaturally high around the river. The most common catches are bluegill, warmouth, catfish, bowfin, and pickerel. No live fish may be used as bait, and boats are limited to 10 horsepower engines. The Trembling Earth Nature Trail begins and ends near the boat basin, forming a 1.5-mile loop of trail and boardwalk through pinelands and swamp.
Interpretive brochures are available in the office.
