Recreational Uses
In addition to maintaining the dam that creates the reservoir, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains recreational facilities at the lake. Cedar Breaks Park and Russell Park include day use areas for picnics. Cedar Break Park and Jim Hogg Park have boat ramp facilities for recreational boating. The Good Water Trail is a 16 mile (25.7 kilometer) long hiking trail that follows the entire southern side and much of the northern side of the lake. There is an extension to this trail that brings the total distance to over 24 miles and makes this a very long loop trail that starts and ends at Cedar Breaks Park. Mountain biking is allowed on the trails on the northern side of the lake.
Overnight camping at both improved and primitive sites is permitted. Boating and fishing are very popular.
