Creek ? to right of Clearville boat ramp Lake Erie( directly behind pavillion in the centre walk straight to tree at creek)
Ontario, Canada
This is the creek runs from inland to Lake Erie .Follow Clearville camp sign from HWY 3 down road pass campground on left and park besides the pavillion on your right . We located from back of pavillion centre point and walked straight across to the tree on the creek edge. Our testing was done directly in line with tree from shore(its to steep otherwise).You can see the creek where it breach's the sandy beach and enters Lake Erie. It was not breaching today , maybe an 8 ft sand across
