Enjoy 600 feet of shoreline along the crystal-clear waters of Big Blue Lake at this 25-acre hidden gem. Blue Lake County Park is the perfect place to swim, fish, boat, picnic, or camp in a peaceful, natural setting. The park features a small day-use area with a swimming beach, picnic tables, and grills, making it a great spot for a relaxing afternoon by the water.
Just east of the day-use area, Blue Lake Campground offers 25 campsites, each equipped with electricity, a picnic table, a fire pit, and a water spigot. The campground includes a modern restroom with ADA-accessible showers, and a sanitary dump station is available nearby.
The Deremo Boat Launch is just 1.5 miles north of the campground for those bringing a boat, offering easy access to Big Blue Lake. From the park, take Nichols Rd. North, turn right on Fruitvale Rd., then left into the launch parking lot.
Local area attractions include: White River Light Station and Museum, Clear Springs Nature Preserve, Disc Golf, and Gold Rush Waterpark.
