Families in our area have enjoyed Big Cedar Creek for years. It is a very family friendly creek with some fun mini rapids. When the water is up you can even experience some white water. You have to steer your kayak or canoe through some tight areas and paddle some long flat water. It has a mix of everything. It has a lot of nature watching.
Big Cedar Creek is a large creek about 30 to 40 feet in width. Generally the depth is not over seven feet at normal pool. It is rain and spring fed and may change levels throughout the year. It is important to know how to read the flow gauge. The gauge measures the water flow in CFS (Cubic Feet per Second).
