All along the canyon, small streams – some seasonal, some year-round – cascade down to Newell Creek. The water is cleaned as it flows through the ferns and loam between bigleaf maples and western redcedars. The bigger streams have cleared away vegetation, leaving rocky traces that open up views into the forest. These are good spots to look for woodpeckers on snags, bird-hunting hawks flying in the trees, and maybe even raccoons and other larger animals walking by the streams.
Newell Creek Canyon Nature Park will open later this year.
