The Lake is well-known for its fishing, both in the summer and winter where ice fishing is a popular attraction with the most popular species being Northern pike, Largemouth bass and Smallmouth bass. The lake is quite shallow relative to others in the area, with the deepest point only reaching 40 feet.
