Dale Hollow Dam Recreation Area provides access to Dale Hollow Lake on the Obey River with multiple camping and day-use options, including a developed campground (Dale Hollow Damsite) with 72 campsites offering electric hookups and full amenities, plus primitive camping across 32 dispersed locations along 620 miles of shoreline (mostly boat-in accessible).

The nearby Pleasant Grove Day Use Area, located 3 miles from the main campground, offers boat launch access to the lake.

A one-mile paved walking and biking trail is available at the damsite, and the adjacent Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery (the largest federal trout hatchery east of the Mississippi) is open to visitors daily.
