Deadwood Creek (Oregon)

Deadwood Creek is a stream located in Lane County, Oregon. It is a tributary of the Lake Creek, which itself flows into the Siuslaw River. The creek is situated within the Siuslaw National Forest, west of the city of Eugene. The surrounding area is characterized by dense coniferous forests and rugged terrain.

The creek's watershed provides habitat for various species of fish, including salmon and trout. It is known for its recreational fishing opportunities. The creek also plays a role in the local ecosystem, contributing to water quality and supporting riparian vegetation. The name "Deadwood Creek" likely originates from the presence of dead trees or logs in or near the creek, a common occurrence in forested areas. Logging activities in the past likely influenced the characteristics of the creek and its surrounding environment. The creek is also subject to seasonal variations in flow, with higher water levels during periods of rain and snowmelt.
