Milesburg Community Park offers a take-out access point on Spring Creek in Centre County, Pennsylvania. This location serves paddlers finishing runs on Spring Creek, a medium-sized river with a total length of 21.35 miles and a drainage area of 385 square miles. The take-out is positioned in the lower section of the creek system, approximately 758 miles from the river mouth, making it suitable for multi-day or day-trip paddling routes.
Spring Creek features an average gradient of 31.1 feet per mile with significant elevation changes, creating moderate current conditions typical of intermediate whitewater sections. Average flows around 51.9 cubic feet per second and velocities of 2.01 feet per second indicate consistent moving water. The creek's stream order of 5 classifies it as a medium river, suggesting established channels and stable banks suitable for take-out operations.
Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for moving water conditions and plan their exit accordingly. The community park setting suggests public access, though specific amenities and facilities at the site would need to be verified locally. Spring Creek's hydrology makes it most suitable for kayakers and canoeists with intermediate paddling experience.
