Water-related activities possible at the reservoir include swimming at the park’s swim beach, scuba diving, paddle boarding, and fishing. The beach is open for swimming from Memorial Day to Labor Day, along with stand-up paddleboard and kayak rentals. Boating season typically begins around the middle of March and runs through the end of November. No gas-motored boats are allowed. There are also several land-based activities possible around the Aurora Reservoir, such as leisure walks, hiking, running, and biking.
