The park offers a variety of boating options for visitors. Canoeing is popular due to the gentle flow and scenic views along the river, with canoe rentals available on-site. Motorized boats are also allowed but must adhere to an idle speed limit while within park boundaries. There's no boat launch ramp in the park itself; however, there is one nearby at Riverside Rentals where you can rent or put your own watercraft into Tippecanoe River.
Anglers can enjoy fishing in the river, with species like northern pike, bass and various types of catfish available. There's also a chance to catch crappie or bluegill. Fishing is permitted year-round for those interested in winter ice-fishing too.
