Woodlands of Bedford: Sagamore Creek Hike

7/21/2019

0 Comments

 
Overview: This hike was supposed to be the Tinker’s Creek Stream Walk, but conditions merited a change to a smaller creek, Sagamore Creek, that had much more acceptable water levels.

Although we were saddened to see thunderstorms pass just before the hike started, we persevered by targeting a smaller creek.  I consider Sagamore Creek to be a mini-version of Tinker's Creek and it did not disappoint.
  • We cooled off in a swimming hole where the culvert exits from under the bike path.  Given this respite from the heat, and the general coolness of the creek, the extremely hot temperatures were nicely avoided.
    We visited two waterfalls and the confluence with the Cuyahoga River.  Below you can see the 6.5 mile route we followed over our seven hour adventure.

Picture
We enjoyed many natural pleasures but the insects were among the most interesting:  a Horntail Wasp, two Striped Fishing Spiders, pair of mating Bumblebees and many parasitic wasp cocoons on a Catalpa Spinx Moth caterpillar.

Here are some additional information from this very enjoyable creek walk.

I hope to see everyone next month, when we will explore Hemlock Creek.
