There is no public access directly on the lake, but access may be gained via channel that connects to Edna Lake. Northern pike is the primary management species. A standard survey was conducted the week of June 15, 2015.

Nearly 48 percent were 24" or longer. In order to improve and maintain the northern pike population, anglers are encouraged to harvest smaller northern pike and release the larger ones.
