About Us:

Here at HorseThief Reservoir, we have numerous attractions that include, but are not limited to, camping, bird watching, skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, swimming, fishing, picnicking, hunting, and archery. We have 42 campsites with utilities, and a large amount of primitive campsites available for use. We have one rustic cabin that can comfortably fit 5-6 people for sleeping arrangements that is located right across the road from our bathhouses/restrooms.

In 2013, we started adding new amenities to our park. We installed a basketball goal and a big playground with swings and benches close to the cabin. We have begun to build shade/wind blockers onto some of our campsites with utilities, as well as gazebos, that can be rented out for family reunions, birthday parties, or any other special occasion in mind. We are in the process of new developments, so stay on the lookout for those.

The fishing is still going strong with abundant reports of largemouth bass. Our catfish and walleye are catching up, and our crappie are starting to pick up as well. Our water levels are lower; however, we are still able to safely have boats and jet skis out on the water. Park permits are required upon entering and may be purchased at the office or self-pay station. These permits fund the operation and improvements within the park. We also have 12 long-term campsites available. Please call the office to inquire and reserve your space. Please remember to pick up trash and be courteous of others so everyone can have an enjoyable trip at HorseThief. Please do not bring glass containers (including beer bottles) to HorseThief.
