Nice public fishing spot on Salt Creek.
The Chustak area provided the first state-owned public fishing opportunities for trout and salmon in the East Branch Little Calumet River system. This stream system, along with Trail Creek in LaPorte County, is stocked annually with trout and salmon. When these anadromous fish
return to the streams two to four years after stocking, they provide fishing experiences that anglers will
remember for a lifetime. The site is 76-acres and
includes a parking lot, signs, a trail, 29 acres replanted to bottomland hardwood forest, wetland restoration,
waterfowl nest boxes and watershed protection for Salt Creek. The Chustak State Fishing Area was purchased through a resource damage settlement involving the USX Corporation. The area is managed by the Division of Fish and Wildlife. It
contains over one mile of fishing access along both banks of the creek. So bring your poles and see if you can catch a fish after you cache. You're looking for a decon container. Area can be very muddy at times.
The cache is accessable in winter, but BE CAREFUL around the creek banks the trail is close at a few points.
