The area supports diverse wildlife, including largemouth bass, bluegill, and northern pike, while birds of prey and songbirds frequent the waterways. Visitors can rent kayaks and pontoons from the Portage Yacht Club and access fishing licenses via the Hunt Fish App.

Nearby amenities include Mike and Tina's Party Store for bait and tackle, and Busch's Fresh Food Market in Pinckney for supplies. The adjacent Pinckney Recreation Area offers additional camping and hiking, with a Michigan Recreation Passport required for boat launches.
