Deer Creek Reservoir is a great lake located just West of Berlin Lake, in fact they are just…read moreseparated by a dam, with the water draining from Deer Creek into Berlin Lake. Although Deer Creek is the smaller of the two, it is well worth a visit since it is a great place to paddle or go fishing. The launch is well set up with a cement ramp and a small dock. The lake is limited to electric motors or paddle only. There are several port a potties, a fishing dock, parking lot, and plenty of shoreline benches and tables. I did notice there was a nice hiking trail that led over the bridge by the dam. Did see quite a few people fishing both from the shore and boats. My paddle was excellent, I headed along the dam and then followed the Southern shore which has a nice variety of bays and inlets to explore. The kind of interesting paddling that makes the day really enjoyable. At the North East end you can find the inlet for Deer Creek which will take you through two tunnels under the railroad and the road, which is a cool paddle. I was able to get about 1/2 mile further up the creek before it became too shallow with small rapid, but a great way to cap the paddle. Overall one of the best lake paddles I have experienced in the North East Ohio are, if you are looking for a place to kayak or fish, put Deer Creek Reservoir on your look.

The course and cart path are both well taken care of. I can not wait to come back and play the front nine!

The bathrooms are close by the camp sites and clean! Plus they have hot water for showering. The water pump for drinking water is fresh and better than my tap at home. The lake is so nice and the ice cream stand is the best (bring cash). Definitely recommend booking the camp sites closest to the trail that takes you to the beach. It's about a 15 minute hike, but so much nicer than driving 15 minutes to the beach.

A very large park on Western Pennsylvania with numerous trails, camps and unique destinations. The…read moreonly negative I've encountered in this park is an angry, abrasive and unprofessional park ranger. I've been visiting this place for years and had met many kind, friendly and helpful fellow visitors. I cannot say the same for that ranger - I hope y'all never come across her in your effort to find clarity on directions. My favorite areas of Raccoon Creek are the beach and the mineral springs. When the area water levels aren't low, you'll also see a beautiful 10 foot waterfall adjacent to Frankfort Mineral Springs. The beach is lovely in all seasons, but if you can catch it during the peak of Fall foliage. The many colors of the trees reflecting from the lake surface is quite the sight! There's a boat rental and the rates are very reasonable. There's also a very large picnic area with dozens of tables, plenty of parking and restrooms.
