This creek is often run after a heavy rain.

> Lockatong Cr. has the exact same geology as the
Tohickon across the river in Pa. but instead of getting rid of its gradient evenly, it occasionally dumps a bit of it all at once. There is a 12' waterfall and at least two other ledges that are 5-6'. If there is a day or two of hard rain in the late fall to spring, this and
Wickecheoke will come up and can be easily done together in a day.
