Kramper Reservoir was planned with shoreline and boat fishing in mind. The breakwater on the west shore includes a handicap-accessible fishing pier.

A wide spectrum of aquatic habitat features was incorporated to encourage fish to reproduce and grow rapidly. These include three water quality basins, a wetlands complex, a number of rock breakwaters, unwater shoals, tree and brush piles and diverse water depths. Game and Parks has stocked the lake with largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, channel catfish and walleye.
