In the San Bernardino National Forest, Deep Creek provides such an environment. Presence of water flowing over large boulders, forming rapids and falls, then quietly resting in deep pools provides a recreational resource which is rare in the area. The primary activities in the Deep Creek drainage include fishing and hiking. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail parallels 15 miles of Deep Creek offering a wide range of vista points overlooking the drainage. Deep Creek's 23 miles of-large pools and tall waterfalls provide excellent scenic enjoyment.
Rainbow trout are much more abundant.
Deep Creek is a wild trout stream . Fishing from Green Valley Creek down to Willow Creek is restricted to a two fish limit using an artificial lure with a single barbless hook. Vegetation along the upper half of Deep Creek is primarily mixed conifer and oak forest. All rights reserved.
