Fish species
Parker Canyon Lake is stocked with rainbow trout once a month from October to March. The lake was stocked with channel catfish which now hold a reproducing population. The rest of the fish assemblage consist of largemouth bass, bluegill, green sunfish, redear sunfish, black bullhead, yellow bullhead, and mosquitofish. Northern pike, which were abundant, recently vanished in the past few years. Other fish that were stocked but didn't establish or their stockings ceased to exist include coho salmon, red shiners, fathead minnows, and threadfin shad.[1]
Recreational Activities

The lake hosts a boat ramp and a small store which offers food, fishing equipment, paddle boat, canoe, and motor boat rentals.
