Horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking are popular as well. Electric Lake is nearby, offering boating, water skiing and fishing for tiger and cutthroat trout and kokanee salmon. A boat ramp is on-site located at the north-end of the reservoir. Facilities Vault toilets are provided, but there is no water, electricity, sewer hookups, or garbage service.
