“Nestled among gently rolling mixed woodland, Doctors Creek, one of the two units of Cooper Lake State Park, offers a diversity of recreational opportunities. With 466 acres and more than 6.2miles of shoreline, visitors can enjoy the park’s beautiful scenery by boat or foot, or just relax and appreciate the refreshing breezes from the 19,300-acre lake. Overnight guests can experience the great outdoors from one of numerous tree-shaded campsites or from screened shelter near the lake’s shoreline. Day- use visitors can picnic under towering oak trees, swim at the sandy beach, or just enjoy the beauty of the lake. Wildlife observers are often rewarded with sightings of bald eagles, white pelicans, wild turkey, waterfowl, white-tailed deer, squirrels, raccoons and beavers.”
