Paddling Village Creek

Hi, all. I’m new to this board, but it looks to be very interesting. We are planning to paddle Village Creek on the 30th with a church group. I am wondering what the recommend range flowrate/water-level is for this creek. We’ll have a very mixed bag as for as experience goes. Thanks to any and all who answer. Mr.Mac

Re: Village Creek
We did a canoe trip down Village Creek a couple of years ago during Spring Break. The water level was fine but there was lots of downed trees in the upper section - some of them completely across the creek requiring portaging. I would contact

the folks at Eastex Canoe Trails for the latest information on creek conditions. They are very good outfitters.

We have used them twice.

Here are 20 pictures from a trip on Village creek New Years day. If you do a webshots search you will likely find more. I think flow was about 865 feet that day…Do you know about the USGS website with current flow data?

I hope you have a great time!
