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.
