buck creek state park

I go there at least 4 times or more a year for over 15 years. It is a great place to visit. This recent visit I saw a bald eagle perched in a tree. Some nice trails to walk on. I fly kites there with my kids and there is a great frisbee golf course.

This is a wonderful state park. There are two bedroom cabins, tent sites, along with RV area. There is also a marina and a beach. The children will enjoy the rangers' station which has many hands-on displays. So much land, so many animals such as deer, rabbits, and birds plus lots of fishing!

Buck Creek is a great place for family fun and a lot of water activities. You can have a nice picnic by the lake then walk the beach or fish or the more adventurous can water ski or go tubing. There are great trails if you're a hiker and beautiful scenery in every direction if you take pictures. Stop by Buck Creek, it's worth the visit.

This is about 7 miles from the interstate if you're looking for a place to stop and eat a packed lunch with the kids during a road trip-well signed. Picnic area large with restrooms right there, no entrance fee which was nice. Walked down to lake, there is a decent amount of trash strewn about, including a used condom and a random shoe in the picnic area which I saw after we'd eaten off those picnic tables. Ewww. In park rangers' defense, it could have been from the previous night and just not gotten to yet for cleanup-it is a big park. But based on amount of other trash, probably not.

nice boating area away from beach environment which was nice quite a bit of drive to get into the beach surroundings and lots of seagull like birds flying around watch your food

The Park is well worth a visit. The dam is impressive and the easy walking trails allow you to see a wonderful variety of flowers.

It's a pretty clean lake. No speed limit and no horse power limit also except around beach and docks! Signs direct you easy from the highway. The camp ground is always clean and the the grass well kept. Lots of sites but we like any of the that are on the back roads. Rangers don't say much at all , but party to load late hours. Good fishing,lots of trails also has horse trails and snow trails too! Come and check this park out!

Horrible experience at the beach!!! There wasn't a clean place to sit because of the Goose droppings all over; in the grass, sidewalk, sand, even floating in the water. The kids were trying to build a sand castle and had to keep fishing the floating bird turds out of their moat with a shovel. Disgusting and unsanitary, we quickly left and will never return.

Buck Creek State Park is one of the biggest parks in Ohio I have been to. It has hiking, swimming beach, boating, kayaking, jet skiing, disc golf, and in the winter snowmobile trails. There are cottages you can stay in that are furnished. I recommend 18 and 19 because they over look the lake and it is a beautiful view.

Our family has had many reunions at this park. All were very successful with plenty of fun things to do. The shelters were clean and nice. We had a great time in 2013 and we are looking forward to this years reunion, which will take place Sat. July 6th, 2014.Clean, convient and fun.

You can enjoy a nice ride through the park and at the marina area. This time of year, all the trees are in full display and make you want to sit under a tree and take in all the sights. It you plan your trip towards evening, you'll see all sorts of deer enjoying their evening. Have never stayed in the cabins and don't go to beach area. You;ll also see lots of people walking for exercise. Lots of people riding bikes through the camping area. And you always see lots of boats on the water, people tubing and water skiing. Lots of sights.

I have always for years enjoyed the beauty and excitement this park offers.My recent visit revealed people fishing for crappies and many anglers have landed some keeper largemmouth bass.The park's greenery has yet to make itself visible but when spring's magic take hold the parks beauty easily compares with any great park in Ohio.If your interest is camping the park has nice cabins for rent and many camp sites to accommodate campers.You should give the park a visit.Rest assured.. You'll make this state park a regular in your outdoor activities this summer.

If you like to boat, bike, fish, camp, stay in a cabin, enjoy the beach, hike, or picnic, Buck Creek State Park has a lot to offer. Probably the only State Park close enough to a city where pizza can be ordered and delivered to your cabin door. Beautiful in the Spring and Fall, enjoyable and cool during the hot summer months. A nice place for family outings and simply getting away.

Very well kept state park. Nice camp ground & marina. Picnic table up over the marina is a great place for a late picnic & to watch the sun set. Also a great place to fly a kite or ride a bike.

We stayed in our RV and camped at this state park. The campsite are well spaced out. Although we camped in Feb., we were very pleased with the parks layout and bathrooms. The bathroom was very clean and plenty of hot water for showers. The laudery mat was open and clean as well. There was a fire ring at each capsite. I would highly recomend camping here.
