This recreation area got its name from an old game Warden, Mac Coon, who worked in the area back in the 1930’s and 40’s.
Purchased by the Department of Natural Resources in 1945, a renewable 25 year management-lease agreement allows the Jefferson County Conservation Board to develop and manage this area.
Since 1973 numerous improvements have been made to Mac Coon Access which includes: construction of restrooms and a shelter house, installation of playground equipment, drilling a well for potable water, developing a campground equipped with electricity and providing a concrete boat ramp and fish cleaning station.
A trailer dump station and rural water was added to Mac Coon Access in 2006. Camping area
