A public boat launch and docks are available for boats and pontoons and canoe and boat rentals are available.

The 5 miles of foot trails provide unparalleled scenic enjoyment. Most of the 12 trails are classified as difficult to very difficult, but Blackberry and Pitch Pine trails are rated as moderate. Be sure to look for the beaver dams along Shore Trail, as well as some of the more than 200 bird species that call Argyle Lake home. The 5 miles of foot trails provide unparalleled scenic enjoyment.
