Antelope Lake hosts a variety of water sports, including canoeing, kayaking, and water skiing. Fishing is popular in the coves around the lake, especially for rainbow and brown trout. Along the south side of the campground shallow water provides a popular area for small kids to wade under the watchful eyes of adults. On the northern side of the campground, the water is deeper. Many campers moor their boats near their campsites.
