History
At various times in the 1940s and 1950s, the creek was stocked with fish including rainbow trout and brook trout.[3][4][5][6] In 1958, the outdoors columnist Floyd King described it as considered "one of the best natural trout streams in [its] area" [6]
As of 2026, the state Department of Environmental Conservation stocks the creek with trout.[7]
