Information

Canal Creek is on the Old Telegraph Track and is a crossing upstream of Twin Falls. It is the first crossing going north of Eliot Falls. There are several alternate crossings, some near deep holes. Take your time to find the safest passage across by walking and testing the depth with a stick etc. Can be partly blocked by campers who set up right next to the crossing.
