State Park Information
State Park Overview
Description A small earthen embankment was built in 1937 by the W.P.A. on Boxelder Creek to form Rooks State Fishing Lake. The lake is surrounded by ample shade for fishing, camping, picnicking or just enjoying the scenery at the lake.
The lake periodically goes dry due to irregular inflows.
The entire lake is open year round for fishing, but a portion of the area is closed from Nov. 1 to Mar. 1 to hunting and vehicles to enhance wildlife related opportunities and reduce litter and vandalism that have historically occurred during periods of low use
Camping
CampingCamping is allowed in the four designated camping areas along the east and west shoreline of the lake. Pit toilets are centrally located on two of the areas and tables are provided at the various sites.
