Kettle Creek State Park, Nature reserve in Clinton County, US.
Description
Kettle Creek State Park is a nature reserve spanning roughly 1,793 acres in Clinton County and extends along Kettle Creek. The area features a valley nestled within mountainous terrain and dense forest.
History
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built the Alvin R. Bush Dam in 1962 to protect the lower Susquehanna River basin from flooding. The structure altered the valley's hydrology and created a new water body within the park.
Culture
The park reflects the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps, which left a legacy of conservation efforts during the 1930s. Visitors can see today how these historical efforts shaped the land.
Practical
The park offers two campgrounds with a total of 71 sites, with 50 equipped with electric hookups, each having picnic tables and fire rings. Visitors should prepare for forest trails and terrain conditions, bringing appropriate gear for outdoor activities.

A 67-acre reservoir within the park allows only electric motorboats and accommodates about 60 vessels. This rule preserves the quiet of the waters and protects the ecological balance of the area.
