Overview

Woodcock Creek Lake is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Woodcock Creek Lake provides visitors with the chance to enjoy a number of outdoor recreational opportunities. Four reservable picnic shelters at a rental fee of $35 per day are located within Woodcock Lake Park, formally known as the Colonel Crawford Campgrounds. Picnic shelters are also available as a first-come-first serve with no fees attached. 

Recreation

Woodcock Creek Lake offers walking/hiking trails, canoeing, kayaking, birding, walking across the 1-mile long dam, 18-hole disc golf course, concrete corn hole boards, picnic shelter and tables/grills, a playground in the Outflow Recreation Area, and fishing both in the lake (20hp limit) and downstream of the dam. Other recreational activities are managed by our partners.
