The Park
Established as a state park in 1971, 3,260-acre (13.2 km2) Deer Creek State Park features the large Deer Creek Reservoir, which is popular for fishing and sun tanning, along with other surface water sports such as boating, sailing, swimming, and windsurfing.
Park facilities include two concrete ramps for boat-launching, a summer-only 75-unit campground (58 sites for RVs and the remainder for tents), rest rooms, showers, and sewage-disposal, two group-use areas, picnic areas, and fish cleaning stations.
There is also a restaurant and gas station, and boat rentals are available.
The park is at an elevation of 5,400 feet (1,600 m).
