Clear Creek is a tributary of the Hocking River. It starts in western Fairfield County and flows southwest into northern Hocking County. In the upper half of the creek's watershed was glaciated and currently has a large amount of agricultural land use. The lower half is part of the unglaciated Allegheny Plateau and is much more forested. The creek's mouth is found at 39°35′49″N 82°32′46″W / 39.5970095°N 82.5459930°W / 39.5970095; -82.5459930
