It features multiple underwater platforms at various depths, serving as excellent training grounds. Divers navigate via guide lines connected to suspended platforms, leading to numerous artificial attractions including a camper, airplane, and boats. While lacking a natural reef history, its purpose-sunk objects create an engaging underwater environment for divers of all experience levels.
The lake's silty bottom is home to some grass along the banks. Divers can expect to encounter various freshwater fish species such as bass, striper, catfish, panfish, and perch. Turtles are also commonly sighted inhabitants, adding to the local aquatic wildlife.
