Sandy Creek in Winter Sandy Creek begins near Porters Corners in Crawford County and flows for 41 miles near Bully Hill in Venango County where it drains into the Allegheny River.The stream was named by George Washington, who, in 1753, journeyed over the Venango Path, an Indian Trail, from Fort Pitt to Fort Le Boeuf to warn the French against further penetration of the Ohio Valley. In his report, Washington tells of crossing Sandy Creek a few miles southwest of Venango, where the village of Polk is located. Today's photo provided by John M. Karian, who is a WPC member and does nature photography in Venango
County and was taken along Sandy Creek, immediately adjacent to the
WPC-owned parcel at the confluence of the Allegheny River in Venango
County. E-mail Today's WPC Daily to a Friend!
