Land Activities

The land of Buck Creek State Park almost measures the same in acreage as the water of the reservoir. Almost 1,900 acres of land welcomes visitors with hiking trails, a campground, and a nature center. Bridle trails are also available for horse riders to use.

For camping, Buck Creek boasts a little more than 100 campsites, most with electric hook-ups. In addition, there are 26 cabins/cottages. Many of these have been updated and are quite nice to stay in with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living space, and a kitchen.

An enjoyable 18-hole disc golf course is open to visitors if you bring your own discs. As with many state parks, the course is wooded in parts, making for some difficult holes.

Water Activities

As mentioned, plenty of water activities are available at Buck Creek. A 2,000 foot beach welcomes those that wish to swim (and there is an additional small beach available for campground users). The lake is open to unlimited horsepower on boats, and many people enjoy skiing and tubing on the waters.
