Boating and fishing are very good on Lake Metonga.  This 2,100 acre lake offers plenty of room for all water enthusiasts.  Fish inhabiting this lake include walleye, northern pike, large and small mouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, rock bass, pumpkinseed and white sucker.  A boat launch is located on the west side of the park by the dam.  There is also a high pressure boat wash station located behind the garage in the park, near the R.V. dump station.
