Walborn And Deer Creek Reservoirs
(Lexington and Marlboro Townships, with access off Price Street)
Under a cooperative agreement with the City of Alliance, the two reservoirs came under the jurisdiction
of the Stark County Park District in early 1998. These waters encompass more than 2,700 acres, providing
outstanding opportunities for fishing and boating. A new marina, boat launch and docks, and a handicap
accessible fishing pier have been built at Walborn Reservoir. Similar facilities are planned for Deer Creek.
Services include boat rentals, bait & food sales, picnic tables, modern restroom facilities, waterfowl
blinds, hiking trails, and fishing tourneys. For more information call 330-935-0367. Marina is open April - October,
weather permitting.
The West Branch Trail runs north-south along the West Branch of the Nimishillen Creek, parallel to Interstate 77. It is an important connector for North Canton and Canton because it links Dogwood Park and Hoover High School in North Canton to the Canton park system. The Canton park system parallels the West Branch and is an established greenway of parks, cultural features and recreational amenities. This corridor has been cut off from the western suburbs of the City because of the Interstate and is interrupted by several east-west roadways. Modern road improvements and traffic patterns have obscured the historic connections. By improving intersection streetscape designs and establishing pedestrian crossings, a continuous north-south link of open space with walking and biking trails can be re-established. Several of the east-west countywide connections intersect with this route, creating primary activity nodes. This continuous link between all the parks along the West Branch will be feasible with infrastructure improvements and a consistent way-finding program of signage and landscape treatments.
Residential streets are used to connect Dogwood Park with Price Park in North Canton. From this point a greenway connects the existing lands of Price Park and Ink Park and incorporates Covered Bridge Park and Arboretum Park. This connection utilizes the back lot area of a commercial zone along Whipple Avenue and an abandoned rail corridor. The Zimber Ditch provides some potential for an alternative route, although there is a conflict with the crossing of Interstate 77. From Ink Park, the corridor takes advantage of the established parks of Stadium Park, Monument Park, Waterworks Park, and West Park. These well-used parks feature several of Canton’s primary cultural attractions such as the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Fawcett Stadium, Garden Center, McKinley National Museum, and Hoover Price Planetarium.
South of West Park, as the West Branch becomes obscured by freeway interchanges, the trail and greenway take on a much different character. The park-like setting of the areas north are replaced by dramatic industrial buildings and overhead freeway and rail structures. The creek is no longer visible by the public which travels overhead on the freeway. After the interchange, the route joins the road system for a short distance within an industrial zone. A small vestige of an open space and recreational resource remains with the designation of Freeway Park. From here, the greenway continues with a connection to the Lower Middle Branch Trails at Thurman Munson Memorial Stadium.
