The trailhead is the hub for various non-commercial and commercially guided activities including raft trips down the Mendenhall River, kayak and canoe trips on Mendenhall Lake, a destination for bicycle tours, and various hiking trips from the area. Currently there are no restroom facilities. In the winter, the trailhead is a staging area for snowmachine access to the frozen surface of Mendenhall Lake, and skiing access to the lake.
