I've only had a chance to explore the drains under fenelon falls, would love to explore something more extensive, I have rubber boots and overalls in the back of my car if anyone's interested in meeting up and exploring something new and has some experience they're willing to share I'd be very greatful.

Has anyone ever followed Jackson Creek through the city? I bet that's a cool journey if you're not claustrophobic like me. . .

I followed it through from Brownsea base all the way to Jacksons park.
My friends and i did it several times in summer and winter. Quite a bit of it runs under buildings and streets and if the water is low you can walk along a ledge under most of the buildings. I did all this more than twenty years ago and have no idea what the conditions are now but i imagine you still have to watch out for the homeless guys under the bridges and buildings in the downtown section

I used to work at the Price Chopper on Brock St (formerly the Brock St Arena) and every time I headed South on Aylmer, I would see where the creek goes underground by the Villa Esso station and wonder whether anyone went under there.

Of course, after the 2004 flood, I am sure the whole underground area had to be inspected for damage and such. At least, I would hope so!

I'd love to do that trip, but I dunno. . .

I'm not sure what the worst thing that could happen would be?... I meant it's just a creek right?

Having a homeless drunk urinate on your leg would be about the worst thing that could happen, but that could be quite traumatic to some
