There is a state park with camping and boat launching facilities, as well as a private resort with cabins and gravel launch site. Expect rainbows in the 11-13 inch range along with carryovers to 16 inches. Kokanee fishing has taken off since 2014 with anglers regularly harvesting fish in the 11-13 inch range.
