Deer Creek is a tributary to Big Creek, one of the watercourses managed by the Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA).[1] The LPRCA operates the 301 acre Deer Creek Conservation Authority.

Deer Creek was dammed in 1969, creating a 80 acre reservoir.[2][3][4] The reservoir is in a forested area, and the Conservation Authority opened campsites, available for campers. Canoes can be rented. Fishing is allowed.
