Inscription. The Yellow Crook Watershed provides visitors with 31 square miles of scenic vistas and varied terrain.

Early Bath settlers harnessed the power of Yellow Creek, building more than 20 mills to spin wool and mill grain and wood.

A tributary of the Cuyahoga River Yellow Creek has a healthier ecology and better water quality than many of the streams feeding the Cuyahoga River.

Friends of Yellow Creek is a community group dedicated to preserving and improving the integrity of the watershed. Accomplishments include restoration of previously drained wetlands allowing them to serve as nature intended: natural reservoirs during storms.
