About Rock Creek State Park
A reservoir sits at the center of the grounds, giving the park its name and its primary feature. The surrounding land was set aside in 1952 to preserve the creek and lake environment for public use. Visitors coming from the Kellogg area will find the water as the main draw of the property.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
