Lewis & Clark Recreation Area, located near the historical Camp Fortunate site, offers shallow margins for snorkelling near the boat docks. The site features both reef and artificial reef structures. Conditions vary, with water temperatures reaching as low as 34-36°F (1-2°C) in early April. Due to the presence of heavy motorized vessel activity, snorkellers must remain vigilant. The site is accessible from the shore and is suitable for beginners, though the overall rating for snorkelling is 1/5. Facilities include parking, toilets, showers, changing rooms, a rinse station, air fills, equipment rental, a cafe, first aid, a dive shop, boat charters, and guided tours.
