Beautiful lake which I have to admit is about 10 minutes from the house, great place in the evening or during the week. Nice loading ramps but be careful,on the weekends when the crazies come out on jet skis! This place gets a bit to insane for us on the weekends but through the week or in the evening it is a nice relaxing place to put the boat in the water and just float
We had a lovely weekend camping at Caesar Creek State Park. The campground was virtually empty so it was nice and quiet. We had a nice time visiting nearby Waynesville for lunch and shopping, did some biking in the campground and visited the Army Corps of Engineers Visitor Center which was outstanding. However, these were the worst campground showers I have ever visited--the doors to the toilet stalls and shower stalls did not latch; the showers only trickeled out a little bit of very cold water and they were filthy. Such a shame that state park campground facilities have gone downhill so much. Also, the campground is huge but only has two sites with water hookups.
We stayed at Caesar Creek Lake for the 1st time 2 weeks ago and are returning this weekend. Our week night stay was excellent. Hope the weekend goes as well bringing the boat and grandkids this time! We are the older couple that would join the noisy group rather than complain. Sorry about the grumps in the earlier post.
Caesar Creek Lake and park are excellent! This is a state park and has a wonderful nature center, facilities for boating and fishing, and hiking and camping. It's one of my favorite places to spend an afternoon enjoying the outdoors.
I was looking for a quiet spot to hike and eat lunch. I ended up at the boat ramp (which was pretty busy midweek). The lake is spectacular and the foliage was beautiful. The ramp was well kept up - I will definitely bring my boat here next summer.
Enjoyed hiking on the gorge trail located below the dam. Well marked trail & newly added wooden stairs at the steep inclines to ease the journey. Several path options when you reach the top of the hill. Be sure to wear a good pair of hiking shoes.Waynesville is just West and has several options for eating after a day of hiking at Caesar'sCreek.0
Went with a friend for a Sunday hike. The 13 mile (20 km) trail is rather easy, however boring. Not really scenic. The trail is mostly well marked but in some places it's really hard to find it. Took us about 5hrs
We have a large group of families with lots of little kids that have been camping at Caesar's Creek for the last 3 years. This year, we had an older couple next to us that complained we were too loud. So, the next night we were really quiet. However, the following morning the park rangers told us we were kicked out because of another complaint. They said they heard kids giggling in the tent. So ridiculous!!! Never camping there again!
Caesar’s Creek Lake provides year round recreation to the outdoorsman.Caesar’s Creek Lake is a short 15 drive from our home in Centerville, and we often combine a trip to visit Waynesville’s shops and restaurants. It is neat to have an Army Corps of Engineers lake in southwest Ohio.We recall the days of visiting Cowan Lake, and we still do.We like either the direct spillway approach with the winding road to the Caesar’s Creek Gorge or the direct SR 73 approach. “Caesar Creek Lake, OH sits astride the crest of the Cincinnati Arch, a nationally recognized resource that is visited by fossil collectors from all over the world.”Visiting in August offers swimming and boating; however, the six – eight weeks of the fall with the every changing leaves is perhaps the most charming time for us to visit. An October sunset with leaves blazing near the lake is priceless.We often visit in the winter to enjoy X.C. skiing.We do recall the environmental controversy years ago when Caesar’s Creek Lake was proposed and constructed.Caesar’s Creek Lake offers the family a variety of activities at little or no costs. We often enjoy picnicking at a variety of well-maintained sites. We enjoy the numerous hiking trails regardless of the season.
We stayed at Caesar Creek State Park recently so we could bike some of the Little Miami Scenic Trail. We arrived on Tuesday and left on Saturday morning. We stayed in section E. The campground is lovely and scenic. The sites are large and angled, which offers a little more privacy. The back end of each site is wooded, which gives you even more privacy. We basically had the whole section to ourselves until Thursday when a few more campers came in. The bathroom/shower houses are another story. The water temp. was tepid at best and the water flow was barely above a trickle. The shower stalls were rusted at the bottom. The doors to the showers and the toilets did not lock. The bathrooms did not get cleaned until Friday sometime. This is a beautiful campground as is the lake. It would be nice to have updated bathrooms, but certainly, we understand the limitations of the funding for our state parks.
