Little Elk Creek GPS Location 26

Location 26 is where Little Elk Creek crosses under a large bridge for US 40.  There were no flow obstructions at this location and except for erosion protection associated with the bridge abutment, the creek appeared to be in good condition.  The creek was 9 to 15 m (30 to 50 feet) wide and 0.3 to 1 m (1 to 3 feet) deep.  The span of the bridge is quite wide, leaving plenty of room for high flow channels on the east side of the main channel.  The riparian zone upstream and downstream of the bridge was wide and healthy.
