 Adams
County, Ohio is blessed with many
different ways to enjoy nature
and water. The Ohio Brush Creek
snakes it's way through the county
to join the magnificent Ohio River.
Along the way there are several
public access points. At these
points one can drop in a canoe,
boat, inter tube, yourself, or
a fishing line. One can also go
creekin', just walk along the
stream exploring. Brush Creek
is mostly limestone and houses
loads of fossils. One fun spot
is off 247 South out of West Union
at the bridge next to Moores Run
Rd.
The entire southern edge of our
County boarders the Ohio River,
with several boat launches along
US 52.
There
are several lakes and pond to
fish and swim in.
