Deer Creek is one of the best locations in Stark County to watch the sun set, hence the name of this cache. This is one of many geocaches placed at Deer Creek Reservoir. The park is about one mile east of Limaville and five miles north of Alliance. It is home to a 300-acre lake surrounded by nearly 1,000 acres of forested land with hiking trails. The park offers a fishing pier, a boat ramp for electric motors only, picnic tables and grills, and a trailhead for the 4.45-mile Mahoning Valley Trail. Also included in the park is a 260 foot free span bridge as part of the Mahoning Valley Trail over the reservoir. The park also is a habitat for bald eagles, osprey, and migrating waterfowl. Some white-tailed deer and coyote can be spotted in forested areas surrounding the reservoir, too. The man-made Deer Creek Reservoir was built in 1954 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as one of Alliance's primary water supplies.
