Confirmed from Oquaga Creek State Park'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.
What runners say about Oquaga Creek State Park
“Camped 5 days before memorial day, Very peaceful, Clean grassy sites, we were the only ones there so.”
“YES bathrooms were clean, friendly staff, very secluded, so much wildlife Deer, Wild Turkey, Bears, Bald Eagle, the lake is so beautiful with plenty of GOOD sized fish to catch!”
“The water is beautifully calm, park-goers enjoyed metal detecting, fishing, picnicking, and swimming (dogs included!”
We did a 2 mile trek in the peaceful setting of the Oquaga Creek State Park with our dogs. We saw only two sets of foot tracks and their dog. We had our 2 dogs with us. We never ran into anyone while walking. There were 3 people out in the middle of the lake ice fishing. Last week we did the same trek.
We rented the cottage for an extended weekend, and it was beautiful. There were a decent amount of trails, a sizeable lake to paddle around or fish. All kinds of wildlife, you name it.
This is a beautiful park. The campsite are very clean. The one we stayed at had a not so good smell. I’m not sure if it was the grass because it rained the night before. Lots of hiking trails
Great place. Fun fishing. Beach area was great and you can have floats. Not a alot of shade for tents. Hot showers. Nice playground. No cell service we didn't mind. Fishing was great..

“Even on a busy day with the swimming area parking lot full, it didn't seem like there were a lot of people because there's a lot of room to spread out!”
“The facilities were excellent—clean bathrooms with hot water and plenty of water stations.”
