Black Creek Lake Recreation Area

Lovely place to camp for a night or two.

Very well maintained campsite and clearly marked signs directing you to the site coming from the highway. I set up my site near the parking lot. It had a picnic table, grill and fire ring and plenty of level ground to set up tents. In the future, I will hike back into the woods to set up camp as there was traffic coming and going throughout the night. Boat ramp is maintained well as are the vault restrooms. On a side note, I had virtually zero cell phone service here. I prefer to be disconnected but some may not like it.

Black Creek Lake is a lovely, clean, and peaceful gem. The water is clear, and the grounds are immaculately maintained. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing day spent enjoying nature. ​Anglers will find Black Creek Lake to be a rewarding destination, with a healthy population of largemouth bass, channel catfish, and sunfish. Whether you prefer to cast from the shore or launch a small boat, the lake's calm waters and abundant structure provide excellent opportunities for a successful day of fishing. In addition to fishing, the lake offers a variety of water activities. Its clear waters are ideal for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding. The serene environment and scenic shoreline make for a perfect paddle. Swimming is also a popular activity, especially on warm days, and the lake's clean

Just okay. Shady af. Not as safe as Lake Ray Roberts. Unstaffed area where you pay on the honor system. Usually some questional, maybe even homeless people there. You may or may not be offered drugs for sale depending on the day. Take $6 cash per car. Great for kayaking once you're actually on the water.

We went accidentally on National Public Lands Day (Saturday September 30th 2017) and am glad. I never knew about this cool little area, until aunty&unky told me to check it out. We found a geocache or two and enjoyed walking through the beautiful grasslands with our dog (psycho-bunny-hunter). It was a beautiful day. Will return to check it out in different seasons, and maybe camp. 🖒
