It is surrounded by approximately 50 residential subdivisions and over 4,600 homes. The reservoir provides recreational opportunities in the form of 5 campgrounds, 16 parks, 22 boat launches, 3 handicapped-accessible trails, and 2 multi-purpose
trails. In recent years, invasive species have become an increasing problem on this reservoir by clogging navigation channels, reducing recreational fishing opportunities, and reducing access for users of the reservoir.
