The marina also offers boat slips for those who bring their own watercrafts. Additionally, there's a launching ramp available to guests at no charge if they prefer using their personal vessels during their visit.
Anglers can enjoy a variety of fishing options, including bank and boat fishing. The lake is home to several species such as largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, white crappie and bluegill. Striped Bass are also abundant due to stocking efforts by the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources. There's even an opportunity for trout in the tailwaters below Wolf Creek Dam.
