Dexter Park is located around the nearly 300-acre Lake Dexter and is the largest county park in Wood County. Lake Dexter was
created in 1962 and has a maximum depth of 17 feet. Dexter County Park has over 1,000 acres of wild, undeveloped land with many
trails. With an abundance of natural areas, there are many opportunities to view wildlife. Hunting is permitted in designated
areas of the park. Dexter Park features a campground with 109 individual campsites. Three group camping sites are located south
of the main campground. The park features an enclosed shelter, playground, beach, sand volleyball courts, accessible fishing dock
areas, hiking trails, and much more. There are two boat launches on Lake Dexter. A secondary launch is located on the southeast
corner of the lake, is open to the public, and includes a boat wash down station and fish cleaning house. In addition to boat
fishing, there are many shore fishing opportunities as well.
Only the upper portion of Lake Dexter/Yellow River is
"NO-WAKE." Due to shallow depths and stumps, waterskiing, tubing, and jet skiing are not recommended.
