Description

Be aware that there is a failed gabion basket lying midstream at the confluence with the Menomonee River. This is no problem if you are upright, but potentially ugly if you flip or are out of your boat coming through here. You don't want to roll or swim at the confluence and get snagged by a chain-link-fence-basket full of rocks! It also makes this an 'iffy' spot to try for any stalls or squirts in the confluence currents.

While this is the end of Honey Creek, few boaters will take out here. Most will continue about 2 miles, down the better part of the 'MenTosa' run (Menomonee River in Wauwatosa), utilizing it's take-out.
