The topography changes from elevated vistas to marsh-like wetlands. There are accessible staging areas at five locations along the seven mile primary route. When full, the reservoir has 1,234 surface acres, a maximum water depth of 115 feet, and 27 shoreline miles. Water levels are monitored weekly. There are six barbecues and 12 picnic tables in the picnic area.
Patrons can bring self-contained barbecues for use in designated areas only.
No ground fires or glass containers are allowed. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times and at least 50 feet away from the water. The fishery consists of Florida-strain largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, bullhead and carp. Minimum size limit for bass is 15 inches. Fish limits are five bass, five catfish and 25 crappie, with no limit on bluegill, bullheads or carp.
