We had a super fun fishing trip at Deer Creek State Park, such an awesome lake and a cute little campground. So clean and perfect! We only stayed for 3 days, so we might have to check it out more in the future since it’s only about an hour and a half from the house. We stayed in site #177, which was cool with trees all around us, but I think the site next to us, #175, was even better – super private. Next time for sure!

The park’s got a really cool lodge and a golf course for those who want to go the fancy route. There are loads of hiking trails and spots to fish from at the marina and the dam. I think renting a boat would be a better bet for fishing, so maybe we’ll give that a go next time.

We didn’t manage to catch any fish, but we definitely gave them a lot of worms. The campground wasn’t too packed during the week, but when we left on Friday, it was starting to get pretty busy for the weekend.

Ohio does offer so many wonderful state parks to explore, so if you are in our state in the future this may be one to check out.
