Higley Flow State Park has a stunning beach along the shores of Warm Creek Flow, where you can relax during a warm day. There is also a boat launch, and you can use both powerboats as well as canoes and kayaks in the river. It's easy to boat over to the South Colton Reservoir, where there's plenty of fishing to hook. There's also a boat launch on the reservoir itself. Some of the resident fish species in the river and reservoir include smallmouth bass, yellow perch, northern pike, walleye, and white sucker. There are several other incredible places to go fishing in the area, including Carry Falls Reservoir, Rainbow Falls Reservoir, and Massawepie Lake.

The winter season opens up a lot of outdoor recreation opportunities at Higley Flow State Park too. The hiking trails double as trails for cross-country skiing during the snowy months.
