Spruce Run Recreation Area provides multiple access points to the 1,290-acre reservoir with a boat launch and car-top launch for paddlers, plus plentiful shore fishing access maintained throughout the park and along Van Syckels Road.

The facility offers 67 campsites with fire rings and picnic tables (open April-October), modern restrooms with showers, a sanitary dump station, and boat rentals, making it suitable for both day-use and overnight recreation.

Note that swimming is currently prohibited due to harmful algal blooms, and motorboats are restricted to 10 horsepower or less.
