Deer Creek Recreation Site
Deer Creek Recreation Site is located on the eastern shore of Anderson Ranch Reservoir near the Deer Creek Lodge. It offers primitive camping and a boat ramp for access to the lake. This is a dry open site, however it is right on the lake so many fishermen would like this location.
