Description
Caesar Creek State Park is located in southwestern Ohio, five miles east of Waynesville, in Warren, Clinton, and Greene counties. The 3,741-acre Caesar Creek State Park offers some of the finest outdoor recreation in Ohio amidst the park’s sprawling lakes, wildlife areas, meadows and ravines.
A harbormaster facility includes 105 leased docks as well as 17 transient docks for overnight stays. The building includes a retail area, concessions, public restrooms, seating area and water fountain. Showers are available to dock leaseholders.
Natural Features
The park area sits astride the crest of the Cincinnati Arch, a gentle upward fold in the bedrock layers caused by an ancient upheaval. Some of the oldest rocks in Ohio are exposed, with sedimentary limestones and shales showing evidence of a sea that once covered the state hundreds of millions of years ago. The park's excellent fossil finds give testimony to the life of this long vanished body of water.
The forests of the area are comprised of over 65 species of plants. Several major communities thrive in the area. A northern flood plain forest is found in the valley, while mixed associations of oak-hickory and beech-maple woodlands clothe the ridges and hillsides. Red-tail hawk, white-tail deer, raccoon, red fox and box turtle make the park their home.
Archery
An archery range is located off of Clarksville Road in the southwest portion of the park. The range is maintained by dedicated volunteers.
Boating
The 2,830-acre lake has an unlimited horsepower designation. Five launch ramps are situated around the lake.
The Marina at Caesar Creek features a harbormaster building as well as leased and transient docks. The building includes a retail area (boating accessories, clothing, fishing equipment, live bait, ice, etc.), concession area offering ice cream, sandwiches and beverages with indoor seating; public restrooms; and outside deck with seating area and water fountain. Exclusive features for boat dock leaseholders include showers. The marina offers fuel (ethanol-free 90 octane) and pump out stations.
There are two boat camp/boat swim areas. One is located just north of the Wellman boat ramp and the other is located just south of the campground boat ramp.
