⚠️ Public Safety Notice – Dangerous Area on Sugar Creek at Turkey Run State Park ⚠️
Anyone floating, canoeing, kayaking, or tubing on Sugar Creek through Turkey Run State Park should be aware of a hazardous log jam located just downstream from the Suspension Bridge.
Due to the position of the debris and the natural flow of the creek, the current is actively pushing boats, kayaks, canoes, and tubes toward the log jam, creating a serious safety risk. Multiple rescue operations have already been conducted in this area to assist stranded paddlers and tubers who became trapped near the debris.
Visitors planning to travel this section of Sugar Creek are urged to use extreme caution, remain alert, and avoid the affected area whenever possible. Please share this information with family and friends who may be visiting the park or using the creek.
Your safety is the top priority. Stay aware of changing water conditions and always wear a properly fitted life jacket while on the water.
