There is a recreation area here with a cafe and bar as well as canoes and other water sports equipment for hire. Being so close to Cairns, Lake Placid is a favourite spot for local families on the weekends as well as kayaking enthusiasts.

Access to the lake is free and there is BBQ facilities available. Lake Placid is the final destination for the Barron River Rafting which run daily starting at the hydro electric power station.
