On weekdays, it is unlawful for a boat to tow more than two water-skiers at a time. Parasailing is not permitted. A 525-foot sand beach is open from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day unless posted otherwise. The regular hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. A bathhouse with showers and a first aid building are located near the beach.
First aid is available at the park office during the non-swimming season.
Recreational scuba diving is prohibited. An accessible food and refreshment concession located at the swimming beach is open daily, weather permitting, during the summer season, Memorial Day to Labor Day. When you travel the trails, you will see wooded pathways, old roads and many creek valleys. Saw Mill Trail, which is just west of the dam breast, offers a diverse historical hike. The trail has remains of a grist mill raceway, a dam and gateways, small ponds, a slate quarry from the 1700s, a wetland and a stream.
