Parental supervision is required for all rentals, and pets are not allowed in rental boats. Rentals are sometimes cancelled during the shoulder season because of bad weather or staff shortages. In addition, the park has canoes, rowboats, paddleboats and hydrobikes available for rent. A valid Virginia fishing license is required for fishing from the lake. Trolling motors are available for rent.
Swimming is free with camping.
Open during the summer only, the swimming beach is complete with a bathhouse and concession operation featuring a wide range of sandwiches, snacks and drinks. Also includes the archery range, but equipment is not provided. All other times a parking fee per vehicle is charged. Closest laundromat is 15 miles away in Farmville. No restaurant, but a small market just outside the park entrance carries a limited supply of grocery items and some camping supplies.
