FishingBardwell Lake is considered a 'best-kept secret' for fishing. Users report excellent catfish catches, moderate crappie fishing, and good bass fishing. There are also fishing piers, two of which are enclosed, though a fee may apply.
BikingBiking is permissible on the multi-use trails, but trail maintenance issues such as overgrowth and fallen trees may hinder the experience.
BoatingThe park has two boat ramps. The lower ramp is suitable for all boat types at normal lake levels and features a courtesy dock. The upper ramp is shallow and not suitable for ski boats or larger vessels.
