The lake is a popular fishing spot partly because it is close to the St. Regis River which is stocked with over 10,000 trout each year. The lake itself harbors different species of fish including splake, atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, brown trout, american eel, lake trout, landlocked salmon, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and brown bullhead. It can be fished year-round and there is a NYSDEC carry-down boat launch located on Lake Ozonia Road.
