Camping
There are no campsites on Mulligan.
Fishing
Mulligan is stocked annually with brook trout. The recent illegal introduction of northern pike into the lake has called into doubt Mulligan's future as a stream trout lake, as pike are voracious predators and are known to prey heavily on stocked trout.

Natural history
On the northwestern shore of Mulligan Lake there is a talus slope, an unusual landform in the BWCAW. The forest surrounding the southern half of Mulligan Lake is made up of a relatively large stand of old-growth white pines, rare in the Boundary Waters after logging in the early 1900's and the 1999 blowdown.
