Fishing is good particularly in the many embayment areas.
The extensive artificial reef on the north branch of the lake should also prove rewarding. Hunting is permitted on lands in wildlife management areas. Check-in should made with park or wildlife officers for delineation of these areas. Cottontail rabbit, gray and fox squirrels, deer, grouse, quail, woodchuck, raccoon, mink, muskrat, beaver, wild turkey and waterfowl are abundant. An ODNR Division of Wildlife office is located near the main park entrance.
