The park consists of 3,192 acres including the 1,160 acre East Branch Lake. Common game species are turkey, bear and deer. Fishing is very popular. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission stocks muskellunge, walleye, smallmouth bass, brook, rainbow, brown, and lake trout in the lake as well as stocking trout in many of the surrounding streams. Five Mile, Seven Mile, Straight Creeks, Middle Fork and Crook Creek are all stocked streams.
Many smaller streams abound in native brook trout.
Non-powered boats and boats with unlimited horsepower are permitted. Motorized boats must display a current registration. Boats registered in other states must display a Pennsylvania State Park launch permit in addition to their current registration. Water skiing is a popular activity. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also provides a launching ramp by the dam.
