Cricket Creek FP is part of the Salt Creek Greenway (SCG) and
was developed to mitigate flooding from the Salt Creek. Three small
ponds (used during overflows of the Salt Creek); allow fishing,
model boating, picnicking and a walking/cycling trail which makes
this a nice area for the surrounding residential community to
enjoy! I have found it a surprisingly quiet walk around the crushed
limestone, 3 mile trail, considering its proximity to Rte. 83.
The trail is now connected with the Salt Creek
Greenway at EveryTrail

Many thanks to the CITO Crew that did an AWESOME job of cleaning
up Cricket Creek ~ it has never looked so good ~ I will really
enjoy my walks here! As you can see we did NOT make it to ALL areas
of Cricket Creek and if you can spare a plastic bag ~ bring one
along and let's see if we can finish cleaning up a few more areas ~
every little bit helps!
