Known for its clean water and shaded picnic sites, Harvey Gap offers hiking, boating, swimming and picnicking at an elevation of 6,400 feet. In the winter, visitors can cross-country ski and ice fish. The Grand Hogback, the ridge that marks the edge of the Rocky Mountains, runs along the south end of the reservoir. Harvey Gap is a day-use area, but overnight camping is available nearby at Rifle Falls State Park and Rifle Gap State Park, which are approximately six miles west of Harvey Gap.

190-surface-acre Harvey Gap is a popular fishing destination and also offers shaded picnic tables by the water, boating with small boats (20 horsepower max) and a swim beach. Water skiing is not allowed.
