Non-motorized boats like canoes and sit-on-top kayaks are allowed on the lake, making it a great place to check out the wildlife. Motors are not permitted on the lakes. A 0.25-mile hiking trail connects the two lakes. From the campground, Little Acorn Woman Trail is a 1-mile interpretive hike that provides visitors with many opportunities for picnicking and swimming. The 2-mile Summit Lake Trail travels through a mixed conifer forest and small water crossings. There is also a popular day-use area within the campground.
