It's here that you can rent a boat to use on the lake. A shelter for groups up to 100 persons and a lodge for group meetings of 50 persons or less are available for a fee. Their business hours are 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. seven days a week. Double Lake is stocked with bass, bream and catfish. Boaters and fishermen can fish from one of three piers or can take advantage of a limited access boat ramp with parking nearby for trailers.
Swimmers can relax on a sandy beach after taking a cool plunge.
Only boats with small electric motors are allowed on the 23-acre lake. Showers, drinking water and toilet facilities are located throughout the campground areas. Visitors can savor the outdoor flavor by hiking the marked 5-mile trail leading to the Big Creek Scenic Area, an eyeful of nature at its finest. In an effort to preserve Double Lake Recreation Area for others in the future, no off-road vehicles are permitted to roam the area. 59 in Cleveland, take FM 2025 north 17 mi., turn right at Double Lake.
