"Deer Creek State Park, Mount Sterling, Ohio" Mount Sterling by Stephen-KarenConn

Mount Sterling Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 14 photos

Most Ohio state parks are in the Virtual Tourist data base, but not Deer Creek, which is near Mount Sterling, Ohio. Until VT adds Deer Creek State Park to their list of places, I will build my pages for the park under Mount Sterling.

Deer Creek State Park lies on the eastern edge of the great till plains of central Ohio, south of Columbus, and is surrounded by agricultural lands. The relatively flat terrain of the park is enhanced by a mixture of fields and woods which encircle the very scenic Deer Creek Lake.

Wildlife abounds in the park. There are many good outdoor recreational opportunities, and also a modern conference center on the shores of Deer Creek Lake.

BTW - there's not a mountain within 100 miles of Mount Sterling.

Tell Karen that the photo of her in front of the beautiful tree only adds to her beauty! Loved reading about the park, dam, fishing, hiking, the lodge, the restaurant, & the wedding you officiated. You always capture the "spirit" of the places you travel.
