Jewel Lake and the park surrounding it are both scenic and adventurous. There are areas of the lake sectioned off for swimming, although the water has a tendency to be cold year-round, and there are areas great for fishing for those with the appropriate licenses. Located in the area surrounding the lake are picnic facilities, barbecue grills, restrooms, playgrounds, volleyball and softball fields, all making for a great family recreation area near a great lake. There is a lifeguard on duty during the summer months in the swimming area from 10:30 am until 5:30 pm. There is no admission fee to the lake, so it makes for an affordable day of fun for people of all ages. There are also spots on the lake open for boating. The lake is a popular destination in the winter as well as the summer, and cold weather activities include ice fishing, ice skating, and bird watching. The lake is stocked with both grayling and rainbow trout, as well as some landlocked salmon. The maximum depth of the lake is 15-feet and it measures about 26 acres.
