Small boats with trolling motors and float tubes are permitted. This lake contains excellent populations of sunfish, especially bluegill and redear sunfish. Small largemouth bass can be caught. Sunfish fishing should be exceptional in the late spring and night-fishing for largemouth bass can be exciting. Florida largemouth bass were introduced in 1977.
