Fish species include largemouth bass, bluegill, yellow perch, brown bullhead catfish and planted rainbow trout.

Public access is provided by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. The large access area has lots of room for parking, a pit toilet and lakeshore gravel boat launching. (No specific place - Anywhere you can find a spot between bank anglers. Shoreline angling is quite popular and seemingly quite productive during the early spring.
