In the winter months folks take to the ice with skates, or drill a hole through the ice in hopes of a good catch for rainbow trout and kokanee. There are trails for cross country skiing and snowmobiling. 

There is a nice rest area pull out which is located right along side Highway 97. There are washrooms and picnic tables available.
