Quick P&G. Great area for hiking or fishing. Thought there should be a geocache in this area again. Might be a bit harder during the winter.

Tips for birding Tannery Hill Access
This location was very slow with only common species in the winter. It becomes increasingly more productive further into spring. This trail provides close looks at woodland species and you can come away with some outstanding photos here. The trail follows the Ashtabula River, locally known as a good Steelhead fishing location. Very light foot traffic on the trail here. Parking area might be filled by those who are fly fishing at the river.
There are two parking areas, one at the baseball fields and one at the trailhead. The dirt trail can be muddy when it is wet.
About Indian Trails Park
The gulf region of Indian Trails Park covers 369 acres as it stretches from the Penn Central Railway in the north to the National Guard rifle range in the south, winding its way with the Ashtabula River. Since the advent of new roads, it has stayed pretty much a natural area. Previously, when State Road was a main byway and when the road to Main Street followed along East 51st Street through a covered bridge in the gulf, a lot of traffic passed through the area. The little league park had its beginnings in 1949 when the first ball field was constructed there. Since that time, it has grown, but in fact is not under the township’s control. The group is allowed to use the land for its purpose on the condition it maintains the area.
