Sunday looks like it will be a "warm" (52°) no snow/rain at least.



I have been going to Alum Creek myself a lot this last few weeks looking for a good "off-the-beaten-path-path" and think I got one planed out :) It can be a little muddy along the water.



Here it is on MapMyHike: http://www.mapmyhike.com/routes/view/2812414630?host_canon=mapmyhike.com



The route starts at the South East end of the parking lot at the Alum Creek Boat Launch, Exact coordinates:



40°11'51.42"N

82°56'58.06"W



It goes north along the water for about 1 mile, then heads east up a stream bed (1/2 mile) back to the main path heading south.



I like to stop along the water for snack time and a rest, there are tons of beautiful spots to stop and relax along the water.



The "hard" parts are along the water (I got my shoes muddied) and hiking east along the stream bed. I would call it a class 1 hike.



I've called Alum Creek to get the OK on this path and it was given the all clear. Both the desire path and the stream beds are ok for hiking.
