Recommended Access: 4001 S.122nd Street (1.08 Sq.Mi.Drainage)


Description

From the dead-end stub of 122nd Street, DO NOT WALK DUE NORTH TO THE CREEK! THAT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY! (Potential disputes regarding unmarked/indistict public vs private property are a reason for not listing this as primary put-in.)

A narrow City of Greenfield property flanks a paved path. At a fire hydrant (even with the back corner of a house), city property extends north to the confluence of a branch of the creek (adding nearly equal flow). From here to Beloit Road, most of the land along the creek is designated as 'Wildcat Creek Nature Corridor'.

A major zig-zag in this very narrow creek is very likely to catch wood, and (even lacking wood) will take significant skills to successfully navigate.

We highly recommend scouting this location before putting in at the upstream site! (And, since this location cuts off just over a quarter-mile of relatively uneventful flow, you might just as well put in here as you scout here.)
