 A day-use/picnic area is located before the campground on a sandy/grassed bench. This area has 6 tables, 2 pit toilets and a water tap. Although this area is recognized as the main day-use/picnic site, many visitors do picnic along its entire 800 metre shoreline.

 The boat launch is located at the south end of the park. This concrete single-wide ramp is useable during
all fluctuating water levels. A nearby 25 vehicle parking lot is available for overnight parking. There is no wharf but boats
may be beached during the day.

 There are opportunities for canoeing or kayaking in this park. Users access the lake from either the boat launch or the waterfront campsites

 An open, sunny, sandy beach parallels the park and campsites for approximately 800 meters. The combined shoreline on the east and west encompasses over 6 km and is complimented with natural sandbars and coves. The eastern shore, where all the day-use /picnic facilities are concentrated is the most popular. The western shore although equally as sandy is used
less frequently as logging roads or boats are required to access it. The water can be described as refreshing to cool.
NO LIFEGUARDS ARE ON DUTY.

 Help BC Parks protect the environment by reducing firewood consumption. Please respect voluntary burning hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.; use mid-day fires only for cooking; for safety's sake, keep campfires small and extinguish them when no one is around. The Park Facility Operator sells firewood. You may also bring your own. It is an offense to use vegetation dead or alive to start or maintain a fire. Small trees and shrubs are easily damaged. Do not use them for wiener sticks or tarp/clothesline supports.
