Hume Lake is a popular recreation destination where visitors can enjoy fishing, non-motorized boating, hiking, mountain biking and off-road vehicle riding. Visitors can also hike around and fish in the creeks by the campgrounds. Upper Stony Creek offers 17 reservable campsites spread out along the creek.
