Turtle Creek Park. Entered park on St. Paul Avenue. Parked by basketball courts. The bank down to the creek is steep in most places but there are a few spots where you can reach the creek on brushy trails through the underbrush and trees. Beware poison ivy! Best access, was the west side of the Hwy 51 overpass bridge where there are some exposed snags.
