Willow Creek State Recreation Area - West

Willow Creek Lake is a 700-acre recreation destination offering excellent opportunities for paddlers and boaters of all types. The west end of the lake is restricted to no-wake boating, making it ideal for kayakers and canoeists seeking a quieter paddling experience away from faster watercraft. The main lake body accommodates all boating activities, including water skiing, so paddlers should be aware of increased traffic in those areas.

The facility features a boat ramp providing access to the lake, with day-use fees of $5 per vehicle (Interagency Passes accepted). On-site amenities include modern latruses, showers, a swimming beach, picnic areas, and both electrical and primitive camping options. The area is well-developed for a full day outing or extended stay, with 933 acres of adjacent land supporting various recreational activities. Fishing is popular throughout the lake.
