Oatka Creek was originally named Allen's Creek after an early settler to this region. This view is from the concrete bridge which crosses from north on the left to south to the right. The creek bed at this location is a solid slab of rock which makes it ideal for playing "get the stick" with canine companions. Many people have been seen here enjoying the cool water and playing in the creek with their animal buddies.
It is unfortunate that the amount of algae which tends to form here in nasty long strings is a result of runoff from unchecked agricultural businesses, lawn fertilizers, and other sources of nutrients which load the water and enhance algae growth.
