Village Creek is noted for its outstanding scenery. Large bald cypress trees and fresh water swamps exist just yards back from the creek. Clear waters of the creek flow over white sand and gravel, and sand bars which often lend themselves to camping and day use are present. The almost impenetrable thicket bordering the creek holds a remarkably wide variety of plant life much of which is rare or endangered. In much of this area, nature is in very delicate balance and should be carefully protected.
Water levels are sufficient for recreational use at any time.
Although the drier summer months cause a substantial reduction in flow. These summer months are often uncomfortable to recreationists because of heat and insects. From there, they can canoe 4 miles down Village creek to the mouth of Hickory Creek. Then, proceed another 2 miles to the south of Turkey Creek. After proceeding another mile down the creek, canoeists are at FM 420 crossing.
