This little creek doesn't always have running water. But after a few days of winter rain, it flows strong and clear over slabs of sandstone bedrock, into Greer's Ferry Reservoir. You can see, from the clearness of the water, how effective the forest is at preventing erosion and keeping sediment from getting into the lake. The countryside is covered with Shortleaf Pine, Dogwoods, Sweetgum, and other hardwoods. In the forest, there are mushrooms after every good rain and little orchids in the summer.
