Facilities include 19 campsites, 13 picnic sites, boat ramp, fishing piers and a 1-mile hiking trail.
Puskus Lake Recreation Area is open year-round unless weather conditions require the area to be closed. Puskus is a fee area and the fee station is located just beyond the entrance gate. No attendant will be on duty. Users should make sure they have correct currency before arriving at the recreation area.
