Swan Lake State Park
Swan Lake State Park is managed by the Carroll County
Conservation Board. It is a 510-acre multi-use area, including 110-acre lake.
The land was acquired by the Department of Natural Resources in 1933. In 1959,
the Carroll Conservation Board signed a management agreement with the
Department of Natural Resources receiving authority to maintain and develop the
park. The lake is surrounded by wooded area home to deer, wild turkey, small mammals
and a variety of birds; making this park popular for wildlife viewing.
Swan Lake State Park has the largest most diverse campground
in Carroll County with 44 full-hook up sites including 20 long term sites, 46 electric
and water sites, 22 electric sites and a large area for tent camping! Other
amenities include two shower house, firewood and ice sales, dump station, boat rentals, and campground
hosts.
Campground Hosts are located at the campground entrance (Sites
29 & 34) from Memorial Day through Labor Day to answer any questions you
might have. In addition, CCCB has two Park Rangers that live nearby providing
security to park visitors and campers. We also provide free Wi-Fi throughout the campground at Swan Lake State Park!
We do not take reservations for camping. All CCCB campgrounds are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
