Deer Creek Kayak & Camping Weekend

Join us at Deer Creek State Park just southwest of Columbus (about 2.5 hrs drive) for a fun kayak and camping weekend! Please only sign up IF you have booked a site.

Deer Creek is a versatile vacation spot that combines modern amenities with a rustic setting in scenic farmland. It features a lodge resort with pool, marina, campground, and golf course, along with outdoor activities like boating, fishing, hiking, and camping. The park also has historical significance with the Harding Cabin.

A few of us already have sites 39, 41, and 43 so you can look for sites near there. We anticipate this to be a kayaking weekend, but there is usually time for other activities as well. We usually bring bikes as well to ride around the campground or state park.

Deer Creek is an unlimited horsepower 1277 acre reservoir, but there are two main areas of no wake where we will be exploring. Here is a loose agenda as idea of activities:

• Friday - Arrive anytime after 3PM campground check-in, meet at Site 39 after dinner for campfire time and planning.
• Saturday - Kayaking then TBD - swim at lodge pool, check out the lodge, hike, biking (the Tri-County Triangle Trail is about 20 minutes from camp and goes over 30 miles). Possibly a potluck dinner on Saturday night.
• Sunday - Breakfast, take down camp and kayak. Sometimes we like to picnic lunch after kayaking or find a brewery.
