Approximately 5 miles of shoreline are available for year-round bank fishing. Available species include rainbow trout, largemouth bass, crappie, and yellow perch. Reservoir acre feet and total reservoir capacity and cubic feet/second release rates for rivers below Upper Snake River Basin reservoirs and select river locations are updated daily and graphically provided.

Historic Walcott Park, located on the west end of Lake Walcott, once housed an experimental farm, housing for Bureau of Reclamation workers, a resort, and a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp. Stone retaining walls built by CCC workers still stand. A kiosk on the parks south end describes the parks history with a series of interpretive panels.
