Deer Creek Reservoir-Stark Co.Parks

Deer Creek Reservoir in Limaville offers a scenic paddling and boating destination with two public boat launch ramps providing convenient access to the 1,277-acre reservoir. The site accommodates various water activities including kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, and fishing. Electric motors are required for motorized boats, making this an ideal location for quieter recreation. A picnic area and shoreline fishing area are available at the site, and the nearby Mahoning Valley Trail adds to the recreation experience in the area.

The reservoir welcomes paddlers of all types and skill levels, with designated access points and parking facilities. For those planning an extended visit, two reservable campgrounds are located within 10 miles: Mill Creek Campground (with dump station and showers) and Mill Creek Camping near Berlin Lake. The area is also close to other regional attractions, including Berlin Lake's historic sites and Michael J. Kirwan Lake, part of West Branch State Park, which offers additional outdoor recreation opportunities in Stark County.
