This large reservoir has two seasonal boat ramps. Due to drought conditions, water levels are dropping slowly. The boat ramp at Whitcomb Campground is already out of the water and is unlikely to be usable for the rest of the year. Thistle Creek boat ramp goes deeper and will be usable for a few more weeks. It is stocked in spring several times with hatchery trout. It was stocked this spring with over 24,000 hatchery trout. In addition, there is a healthy population of smallmouth bass. In the fall the reservoir is drawn down all the way, making it inaccessible to anglers.
