McCalls Dam State Park is in a remote location on a gravel road between R. B.

The park can only be accessed in the winter months by snowmobiling or cross-country skiing.

[2] The park is named for the splash dam which Johnny McCall built on White Deer Creek in 1850.

Sixteen years later the dam was rebuilt to provide water for a series of splash dams that were used to float white pine logs to the sawmills on the West Branch Susquehanna River at Watsontown.

The park's facilities were originally constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1933.
