Deer Creek State Park Ohio
It sure seems like winter is longer then usual this year! Okay... it isn't but
it sure seem like it with the amount of snow we have seen here in Cincinnati! Dennis had a gutter job up in Columbus Ohio last week and saw an exit off of Interstate 71 that said, Deer Creek State Park. Since we really like staying in the Ohio State Parks and are still looking for somewhere to camp on July 4th weekend we decided to go up and check it out today! Yes... there is still snow on the ground but it is suppose to get into the 50's today and with that geez isn't spring here yet attitude we decided we needed a break! So here we go!
Deer Creek State Park is south of Columbus Ohio in and around the Sterling Ohio area there is over 2000 acres of land and over 1200 acres of water. Wow! they had alot more snow then we had down south, so it is really hard to take in what the park would actually look like on a pretty spring/summer day.
First we hunted out the campground! There are over 200 sites and there is something for everyone. some very shady spots, some sunny spots. Looks like there are several bath houses which even in this winter month where very clean. We wrote down a few site numbers that we would be interested in and went along to check out
more!
We came upon the cottage and lodge area. The lodge is being redone and so are some of the cottages. But we peeked in for a quick view inside and I was impressed! And what a great view of the lake! Hmmm... am going to have to see about renting one of these for a weekend!!
We found a public boating dock and also the Harding Cabin (which u can also rent) and stopped for a couple of sandwiches and give Katie a chance to do her business :-)
Both of us said that we really just left our house to late today to see all of the park since it was already 3:30 and time to head back home! We hope to ride up here again...maybe the end of March and see the beautiful views and the rest of the park. Of course Dennis wants to check out the lake for fishing!!
Even tho I took my camera with me dumb me forgot to take pictures :-( So I will try to search around for a few and slip them in here some where in the future.
