Geocache Description:

The mouth of Conneaut creek is at Conneaut Harbor in Conneaut, Ohio. Much of this creek is located in Ohio. It enters Erie County south of Interstate 90 and a good distance south of the Lake, and winds through rural lands to beyond Albion, Pennsylvania.

Conneaut Creek is the only creek in this watershed that has areas which have a sand and dirt bottom, rather than a shale bottom like the remaining creeks. It drops-off quickly from its banks, and it can be hard to wade in many areas.

Use the parking coordinates. From there follow the path to the creek. There are some great views of the spillway. From there you need to balance yourself across some wooden beams to cross the creek.

The day of the hide the terrain was very wet, muddy. There is some brush and a few thorns to navigate through. I am mentioning it here because I want you to be prepared. Summer months may be a tough walk.

Please be courteous, clean and respectful of the area. This area is open to the public and is used by a lot of fishermen.

Please use stealth when fishermen are nearby. Please rehide the cache at least as good as you found it.

Don't forget to bring a camera!
