This 640-acre park is set on Potholes Reservoir (also known as O’Sullivan Reservoir) with 6,000 feet of freshwater shoreline—fishing is a highlight. Trout, walleye, bass, crappie, and perch are among the species taken here. Waterskiing and hiking (on one mile of hiking trails) are other recreation options. A side trip to the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge, located two miles southeast of the park, is recommended. Note: Do not confuse Potholes Reservoir with the Potholes Lakes, a 30- to 45-minute drive away.

Picnic tables and fire grills are provided. Restrooms with flush toilets and showers, a dump station, a playground, volleyball courts, firewood, and a sheltered picnic area are available. Boat-launching facilities and rentals are nearby. Some facilities are wheelchair accessible. Leashed pets are permitted.
