CONSTRUCTION NOTICE: We are repairing an aged and damaged culvert at Otter Creek Park on the main paved drive this week, just south of the Nature Center. Please use caution when navigating around their equipment.

Roads will remain open for public to access all of the park and campground.

This project seeks to repair a failed culvert pipe (as old as the park) that is preventing our silt ponds from storing water and holding back sediment from entering the main lake. Repairs will ensure our lake water remains clean and healthy.

Reminder: We have a beach! And the weather is perfect for a visit.

Located just below our newest playground, north of the Nature Center, our swimming area at Otter Creek Lake has been expanded since last year along with new safety buoys.

Be aware; there are no lifeguards present and swimming beyond the buoyed areas is prohibited for your safety.

It pains us to say that our Kayak/ Paddleboard dispenser is still Out of Order. The parent company has described a communication issue with the device and the system that talks to your phones app. They are currently working to resolve this so the community can take advantage of this awesome offering as soon as possible. Thanks for everyone’s patience!
