As of this time, all Smallmouth Bass must be released so the population can establish itself. Sturgeon must be at least 46-inches. There is a store and restaurant at the lake with bait and tackle, food and drinks etc. For campers there are a few hookups for RV's at the lake, and many camping spots and more RV's hookups down the road a couple miles at Cuyamaca State Park. There is a paved launch ramp for private boats, a boat dock, and a jetty for fishermen.
Trails lead to and from the lake and cover miles of mountainous terrain for hikers.
