This is one beautiful creek, not to be missed! Initially passing through a very narrow corridor, the upper portion travels through hardwoods, especially red maples. Soon marsh appears with small islands of cedar trees. The downstream trip opens into the breathtaking spectacle of wide open marshlands. In the fall, red maples fill the scenery with rich colors.
