This 3,500-acre wildlife management area supports a variety of recreational activities beyond paddling and boating, including fishing, hunting, hiking, and wildlife observation.

Paddlers and boaters should be aware that water conditions can fluctuate seasonally, and it's worth checking current conditions before launching, particularly regarding water levels and ramp usability.

Given the wildlife management designation, be respectful of seasonal closures and hunting activity, particularly during fall and winter months.
