They wouldn't let my family into Pelican Point at Bear Creek Lake park because Soda lake was at capacity. Ruined our day. I counted just 12 cars at the Pelican Point parking lot. Ridiculous. See photos! There was plenty of room at several other areas in this huge park. But because Soda Lake was stuffed to the gills with people, the rest of us who wanted to enjoy other areas of the park got screwed!!!! Whatever It was smelly, muddy, and gross along the shoreline at Pelican Point from past flooding and the toilet was closed. So happy to leave it anyway. Tsh

New favorite park! I can't believe there are beavers here! Incredible scenery, good atmosphere for a peaceful walk. Lots of wildlife! We saw frogs, beaver, muskrat, giant fish, all kinds of birds, absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to go again! Also, was there early Saturday morning, and it wasn't crowded at all!!

I want to say "this place is terrible, don't come" but that would be a selfish lie. This is my favorite local go-to spot to paddle board. They also have (in my opinion) the best archery range in the metro area. They don't charge an extra fee, on top of the park entrance fee, to shoot, like other state parks do. The season pass to Bear Creek is also very reasonably priced. It's nowhere near where I live and I still prefer to drive here to paddleboard and shoot archery.
