Deer Creek State Park is a state park located south of Mount Sterling in Fayette and Pickaway counties in the U.S. state of Ohio. The park opened in 1974 and includes a resort, golf course, and reservoir. It is also home to the Harding Cabin, a log cabin owned by President Warren Harding's attorney general Harry M. Daugherty. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources manages the park.
The park features a resort with over 100 guest rooms and 25 vacation cabins. The resort includes swimming pools, conference rooms, and common areas with fireplaces. A campground with 232 campsites is also available. An 18-hole golf course is located next to the resort, and a disc golf course is near the campground.[1]
The park's Deer Creek Lake allows boating and has a marina with services and rental facilities. Fishing is permitted on the lake, and commonly caught species include saugeye, catfish, crappie, and largemouth bass. The lake also features a swimming beach. Other park amenities include a nature center, sports courts, and hiking and equestrian trails.[1]
