Lucky Peak Reservoir and its dam are managed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) for flood risk reduction, water storage, and recreation. Typically, reservoir levels remain near full pool from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The reservoir may be accessed at several well developed sites owned and operated by the USACOE and Idaho Parks and Recreation (IDPR). 

This reservoir is well-know for quality Kokanee and Rainbow Trout fishing (primarily supported by stocking), though some anglers choose to focus on Smallmouth Bass. During the summer, anglers are advised to fish early or late as many pleasure boats and water skiers use the reservoir.
