Questions have been raised occasionally about the solidity of the dam due to marshy ground below the earthwork but the Corp inspections have always found everything acceptable.
Boating is the primary recreational use. Weekends see extreme numbers of watercraft on the lake during the daylight hours. Problems on the lake were influential in getting laws passed requiring watercraft operating licenses for juveniles due to a problem with jet ski operation on the lake - a trend that went nationwide within several years.
Fishing draws individuals plus local clubs for bass tournaments. Walleye, crappie, and striped bass are the main species. Bass and Muskie are present but not the predominant species in the lake. Over the last 40 years, the lake has become eutrophic and silted in severely eliminating many of the better fishing areas.
Campgrounds( both state run and private), dockage, and a swimming beach offer additional activities on the lake. Ainsley's Café is the only food service actually on the lake during the season.
The lake is served by a variety of businesses, convenience stores, groceries, bait shops, and restaurants with in the local area.
