Information on Fall’s Creek

Fall’s Creek has one of the larger watersheds in the study area and in its upper reaches is an ephemeral stream with two major branches extending several miles west of S.H. 95. The last 0.8 miles of stream is a perennial, cool water stream. This area is considered the most ecologically diverse natural area in Washington County with state-wide significance. Fall’s Creek has a natural reproducing population of brook trout. However, population size is limited by habitat. In-stream habitat is moderate due to sedimentation and lack of significant pools and in-stream cover.
