Within Rock Creek State Park , you’ll find numerous picnic grounds, boat launches and docks, camping grounds, and trails for hiking and horseback riding. The 1,697-acre park was established in 1952 and has been providing a safe haven for people to enjoy the outdoors since then. Anglers come from far and wide to go fishing at Rock Creek, which is thriving with various species of fish such as green sunfish, walleye, black bullhead, largemouth bass, and golden shiners. During the winter, the lake freezes over and is converted into a spot for ice fishing. There’s a concession store alongside the lake which rents out pedal boats, fishing boats, pontoons, canoes, and kayaks. If you’d prefer being on land, sunbathe on the lakeside beach or go bird watching for different species of residential and migratory birds.
