Wildlife
The wildlife includes fish, chipmunk, squirrels, and many different types of birds. Fish may include minnows, Drum or Sheep head, and Blue Catfish, Channel Catfish, and Flathead Catfish, and even some walleye and bluegills call the creek home. The fish in the backwater creeks are minnows and small bluegills. They tend to hide under rocks and many weird items such as chairs or benches and many fallen trees and a few waterfalls and dams. There are three Bridges and 3 miles of trails. Many people can get lost by going along with the creek in the deeper parts in the woods in the backwater area. Because there are many split creek ends such as rocks or random land it can be hard to get across. The river mouth is at Nippersink Lake, between Nippersink and Pistakie Lake.
