Alum Creek streches 58 miles until it drains into the Scioto River. The creek porvides drinking water source for Westerville, and historicly 2,000 years ago, the Adena built mounds along its valley, later inhabited by the Lenape tribe. During the War of 1812, locals built defensive blockhouses, such as Fort Cheshire, a vital role in the Underground Railroad, with the Sycamore Trail aiding escaped slaves. Today, Alum Creek flows through Alum Creek Lake, Westerville, and Columbus before joining Big Walnut Creek at Three Creeks Metro Park.
