Confirmed from Deer Creek Reservoir's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Recreational area offering trails for biking and hiking, as well as picnicking and fishing spots.
What runners say about Deer Creek Reservoir
“Kayaking this place is beautiful and they have plenty of space to picnic too.”
“The water was incredibly smooth and calm, making for a truly relaxing paddle.”
Kayaking this place is beautiful and they have plenty of space to picnic too. We really enjoyed our time on the water especially spotting all the herons too and looping around the reservoirs dead ends (good and fun thing to do lol) Biking was also quite fun although pretty short even though the bike trail does split…
First time here today. I think this place will be beautiful during the warmer months. Can't wait to try out the fishing. Beautiful bridge and lovely hiking trail.
This place is a gem! Loved the entire trail. A great place to bike with a box lunch and enjoy.
Love it here. A quiet place to relax and enjoy nature! Nice picnic areas. This is also a wonderful place for fishing, biking, kayaking, or just taking a walk.
