Pierre Lake supports largemouth bass, black crappie, kokanee, rainbow trout, and westslope cutthroat trout. A Washington state fishing license is required, and lead weights are prohibited. Both motorized and non-motorized boating are permitted. Amenities include vault toilets, potable water from faucets, and trash service. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with some sites available for reservation. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and stays are limited to 14 consecutive days.
