Trinity Lake is popular for all kinds of boating and water sports, including waterskiing and wakeboarding. Some good hiking trails are nearby.

Stoney Creek Group Campground can accommodate up to 50 people. While there are no parking spurs within the campground, making it mainly a tent-only campground, several RVs would fit in the parking lot. The campground is well shaded.
