About this claim
Members have reported that Caesar Creek Lake Spillway is a popular location for fossil collecting, particularly known for its Late Ordovician fossils. Access requires a free permit from the visitor center, where visitors can also explore fossil exhibits. The terrain is mostly flat but can be muddy, so sturdy hiking boots are recommended. Members suggest that early spring is the best time for fossil hunting, as winter conditions help expose new finds, though the area can become picked over throughout the year. Safety rules are in place to protect both visitors and the spillway's integrity.
