Jones Creek
Ontario, Canada
Slow moving murky brown water, rocky shores near bridge and wetland as the creek continues. Soft bottom with high organic level - very easy to sink and get stuck!
Drops off very fast as you walk into the water away from the shore.
Hundreds of American eels were released here as part of recovery efforts for this species.
