Welcome to Beck's Woods
This intimate and peaceful site is a perfect location for fishing or group camping. Anglers will appreciate the free-flowing waters of Piscasaw Creek fishing for rock bass, bluegill, green sunfish, smallmouth bass, and rainbow trout. Trout are stocked annually in the spring. A picnic shelter may be reserved for group use, as well as a group campsite that is positioned beneath the oak trees, providing a lovely view. A short .5 mile mowed trail is also featured.
In 1973, the newly established Conservation District purchased its first parcel—50 acres in Beck's Woods. Within the same year, it became the second site opened to the public, following Harrison Benwell which opened a few months earlier.
