Wilmore Reservoir has two Recreation Areas: South, near the breast of the Reservoir, the most commonly used site; and East, a.k.a. Patrick Road. Both rec areas have composting toilets, access to hiking/biking trails, pavilions, and picnic tables.
Wilmore South, accessed via Law Road, also has a handicap-accessible fishing pier and boat launch, as well as adequate parking area.
Wilmore East, accessed via Patrick Road, is closed at certain points along the access road when the weather is unfavorable. Usually, this is from late November to mid-March.
Parking area is available at Wilmore North, located off of Spinner Road. Walk-in only is available from the parking lot to the reservoir.
