Pool At The Bend

In the distance is the Mill Road Bridge. This pool, located where the creek turns north, was severely flooded in June, 2008. This area sustained a great deal of flood damage - although the Mill Road bridge suffered a washout, this Parkway bridge did not. The debris in the foreground is from the collapsed retaining wall, caused by fallen trees, uprooted in the flood.

See the bridge back there, behind the tree fall?

Tree Fall From Washout

Oak Creek flooded this deeply. This tree root washout is about nine feet above the normal surface of the creek.

Tree Fall

This tree is so large, it does not fit in the focal length of the camera. Through the magic of digital photography, you can see that it fell across Oak Creek, blocking our view of the bridge.
