The lake is meromictic, meaning its deeper waters never mix with the surface layer.[3]

In 2021, the cartop boat launch on Outlet Road was closed and the private boat launch located at Finnigan's On The Lake Restaurant was also closed, leaving no public boating access to the lake.

In February 2022, the public fishing pier on the north end of the lake was closed due to damage sustained by ice over the winter.[4]
