The Pathfinder Interpretive Center is a small museum located in the former damkeeper's residence near the dam. Pathfinder National Wildlife Refuge encompasses portions of the reservoir. There are five campgrounds and a marina on the reservoir. A suspension footbridge crosses the river below the dam. Pathfinder Dam was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 1971. In 2015, the dam was included in a historic district encompassing the dam itself, its operating facilities, and the archaeological remains of its construction camp.
