It is a popular place for walking and like the other reservoirs in the Washburn Valley is stunning in the autumn. The section below the dam is used for white water kayaking.
If you have read 'In a Dry Season' by Peter Robinson, this is the reservoir that inspired his novel where a flooded village is exposed in drought and a body found.
