About: -
Big Creek Lake provides excellent fishing year-round. The lake's clear waters
are stocked with crappie, bluegill, largemouth bass, walleye, channel catfish
and muskie. The lake is popular for a variety of boating activities. Any size
motor may be operated at "no wake" speeds on the lake. Five modern boat ramps,
three on the west side and two on the east, provide excellent access to the
lake. A gravel ramp is located on the upper end of the lake. Sailboat rigging
zones and vehicle parking areas are at each modern ramp. A 102-berth "dry-dock"
area is at the northeast corner of the park. Arrangements for rental of
dry-docking space may be made through the park office. A fishing pier is
accessible to the mobility impaired.
