  • Icing Conditions

    We currently have a lot of open water.  There is still a very large amount of ice that moves around.  Please do not try to access the ice when it is close to a shoreline-it is NOT safe!  There is plenty of shoreline to fish from.  The water level is rising, and we are expecting a full reservoir this year!

  • Trails

    ​Check out the new trail that attaches Iron Creek Campground to Clear Fork Campground! This new addition to our trail system allows you to walk from the Iron Creek Campground through the Clear Fork Campground to the Peninsula day-use area, all without having to be on the highway. This new, safe trail also provides a story walk​ that starts at the Peninsula. The Crawford Library changes the book periodically, so bring your kids and read various children's books with your child as you enjoy a nature walk!
