The 1,650-acre reservoir provides fishing opportunities for largemouth bass, channel catfish, and trophy-sized rainbow and brown trout. Boating, swimming, and hunting are popular activities in the surrounding 4,000-acre recreation area, which features rolling hills and meadows characteristic of the Ruby Mountains foothills.
