Located in the heart of Ohio's agricultural country, Deer Creek State Park is central Ohio's vacation showplace. A collage of meadows and woodland surround the 1277 acre scenic resevoir. This resort park features a modern lodge, cabins, campground, golf course, swimming beach and boting for outdoor enthusiasts.

The lake at Deer Creek is famous for its early spring saugeye fishing belowe the dam. Excellent catches of catfish, largemouth bass and crappie also entice the angler.

The completion of the dam in 1968 created the lake with the park officially opening in 1974.
