[3] Kepler is home to a variety of wildlife ranging from alligators, bass, bream, perch, gar, and most notably its catfish.

People who live about the waterway are referred to as the Kepler Lake Community.

At the main boat launch—near the spillway—one can see across the entirety of the lake to the white-concrete Piney Woods road bridge.

Channels have been cut into Kepler Lake to ensure boaters do not run their boats onto stumps.

In recent years, there have been extensive draining of Kepler just to remove the stumps.
