Muddy Creek is a rain dependent stream. It usually takes a 1-2" rain to make this creek flow, and then it is usually back down within 24 hours.
To find additional recent observations, check the forum of the Bluegrass Wildwater Association: http://www.bluegrasswildwater.org/bwaforum/
There is also a BWA funded gauge camera (installed April 2011) that takes daily pictures of the river right upstream bridge foundation on Cain Springs. http://s1184.photobucket.com/albums/z334/BWAMuddyCreekGauge/
