Deer Creek State Park is a 2,337-acre resort park which provides a multitude of activities! The park features 232 campsites, a lodge, cottages, 7 miles of hiking trails, a golf course, disc golf, a 1,700-foot lake for swimming, fishing, and boating. There are two launch ramps for boat access to the lake. The marina offers fuel, boat rentals, and seasonal dock rentals.
The 350-foot acre golf course has 18 holes and challenges golfers with its 10 ponds and 52 sand traps.
Featured on the shore of the lake, there are changing booths and a concession area. The fishing area by the dam is famous for its early spring saugeye fishing, as well as catfish and largemouth bass (Ohio fishing license required).
At Deer Creek, there is also a lodge with 110 guest rooms, and 25 cottages to stay in if you aren't the camping type. You can still enjoy the outdoors without having to set up a tent or "rough it".
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
Read MoreBe courteous, informed, and prepared. Read trailhead guidelines, stay on the trail, and don't feed the wildlife.
