Swimming: The beach offers the only regulated swim area on Kinkaid Lake with 3 miles of No Wake, however no lifeguard services are provided.

Winter Use: As fall approaches and the temperature of the lake lowers, most activities wind down. Camping is still available at Johnson Creek for hunters, horseback riders and winter camping enthusiasts. Leaf-off conditions throughout the winter allow hikers and horseback riders to enjoy the beautiful rock formations and maybe catch a glimpse of a white-tail deer or a wild turkey. Winter is also a perfect time to enjoy the out of doors without the heat and humidity.
