Circling the lake will be a five-kilometer trail for bikers and hikers. The trail is paved except for a stretch covered in limestone. Eventually the trail will be connected to the NRD s trail system around the Omaha area. Sledding and cross country skiing areas will welcome winter sports enthusiasts. Boaters can sail the inlets and outlets of the lake.
Speed is restricted to eliminate wakes.
Several picnic areas and shelters welcome visitors, but trash cans will not be available for leftovers.
