Deer Creek Lake is a fishing lake in Utah's Dixie National Forest, within the Escalante Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the surrounding land, and the lake sits among a cluster of other water bodies and trails, making it a convenient base for a day or longer on foot or on the water. Fishing is the main draw, and the lake itself is close to several other spots. Green Lake is just 0.2 miles away, and Chriss Lake is about 1.4 miles off. The Deer Creek Lake Trail starts about 0.4 miles from the lake, and the Great Western Trail lies about 1.1 miles away, so hikers can pair a day on the water with a walk. For an overnight stay, Oak Creek Campground is about 4.1 miles away, and Rosebud OHV Campground is about 5 miles out.
