creek by placing it on their Scenic River poster for the 1993 year. The land that the
Campground encompasses and the surrounding area was used as Hunting grounds for
the Indians of the Five Nations who inhabited the region many years ago. Unique land
characteristics to the area and its geological features are evident along its creek banks and
the waterfalls still showing existing patterns of the Glacial age.
