Recreation Fishing is one of the most popular activities at the lake, with an abundance of catfish, bluegill, bass and crappie available.

Campers are likely to spot white-tailed deer, eastern wild turkey, bobwhite quail, squirrel, rabbit, fox, mink, black bear, dove and waterfowl in the area.

Facilities With 31 spacious and modern campsites and one large day use group picnic shelter, Quarry Cove Campground has plenty of room for the family.
