River Description

Spring Creek lies just west and parallel to the popular Little Vermilion. However, being a smaller watershed, it will not as often contain enough water to boat. You will almost assuredly encounter deadfalls and snags, fences, as well as numerous low bridges in the golf course. At higher flows, each of these obstacles may prove challenging to navigate or portage.
