Description

Located on the north shore of the 35-acre Black Creek Lake, Black Creek Recreation Area was completed in 1967 as a picnic area and boat launch facility. Since that time, numerous improvements have been accomplished through volunteer efforts. Black Creek Lake is a small lake where windy conditions are seldom a problem and anglers can expect success from a boat or from shore. Record catches include a 12-pound black bass and a 29-pound blue cat.
