Welcome to Sippo Lake! Sippo Lake was constructed in 1844, by James Duncan, founder of Massillon. A dam was placed on Sippo Creek to create a power source for Mr. Duncan’s mill. In 1977, Sippo Lake and 100 acres of land surrounding the lake were purchased by the Stark County Commissioners. Sippo Lake experienced serious problems with sediment and silt loading, along with excessive aquatic vegetation by the 1990s. The lake was dredged during 1997 and 1998. After dredging, the average depth of the lake was approximately 10 feet, with some areas ranging from 12 to 17 feet in depth. The lake was subsequently restocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, and channel catfish. Sippo Lake is 99 acres. [History from Ohio Department of Natural Resources website].
You may bring your own watercraft (up to 21 ft. and 10 hp), or you may rent one from the marina seasonally. Please obey all Stark Parks rules.
This cache will take you around the lake, looking for unique landmarks which can be spotted from your boat. Match the numbered descriptions with the lettered waypoints to obtain the final coordinates, which will take you to one of the trails in the park. If any of the landmarks change over time, please let me know.

This cache is a tribute to one of the legs of the original Tricachelon: Tour le Lac. Sadly, part of that series has since been archived, but it was one of my favorite caches in my early geocaching days.
