WSSC provides recreational facilities to the public on portions of the Rocky Gorge property, including hiking, picnicking, fishing, boating, horseback riding, and hunting.[4] Local fish species include pike and largemouth bass.
T. Howard Duckett drafted the law officially establishing the WSSC as a permanent bicounty agency.[5] Following lobbying by E. Brooke Lee, the law was passed, effective May 1, 1918.[5] Duckett was named one of the three first official commissioners.[5]
