The centerpiece of the park was a spring-fed 23-acre lake, locally known as CC Pond, that was a popular fishing spot periodically stocked with bass, bream, and sunfish. In 1962, an angler caught the largest red-ear sunfish on record at the park. The lake had a handicapped-accessible fishing pier, a small public beach area, and a boat launch. A nearby picnic area sat under a canopy of towering pine trees and features tables and grills, a group shelter, and restrooms.
The land on which the park was established was the site of a 1930s-era Civilian Conservation Corps camp. Remnants of the original campsite on the property include the ruins of old stone fireplaces and chimneys, an earthen dam topped with stonework, and a decorative stone-ringed fish pond, all arrayed around a star-shaped concrete flagpole base that once served as the camp's assembly point. The campsite is hidden in a stand of trees near the lake.
