Lake Cochrane Recreation Area

Save to Favorites Leave A Review See Reviews

Nestled between Lake Cochrane and Lake Oliver is an 88-acre playground for campers, anglers, boaters and those who simply enjoy the outdoors. Both the quality of the park and the clear, spring-fed lake bring people to this area. Lake Cochrane Recreation Area was named for the area's first homesteader, Byron J. Cochrane, who settled on the south side of the lake in 1872. The area's rich farmlands and beautiful setting soon attracted other homesteaders You can make it your home too--at least for a fun-filled vacation. Reservations may be made for one of the campsites with electricity or the one-room log-style cabin. Simply book your site online. Bring family or friends to enjoy the scenery of Lake Cochrane Recreation Area while settling into the cabin. Four can sleep comfortably in the set of bunk beds and double bed. Inside is a table and benches; outside, a porch, picnic table and fire grate. Put sleeping bags and linens, cooking utensils for outside cooking and a cooler on your packing list.
