Description

Mud Creek comes in from the right.   I think this is an area of lower gradient following a particularly long section of continuous class 3.  There are a few spots in this area to pull over and take a breather. 

Mud Creek has its headwaters near the summit of Mt Shasta.  It is said to be much more prominent during high flow periods, when it lives up to its name.   It runs silty year round, but during low flow periods most of the flow is diverted into a ditch several miles upstream near highway 89.   The ditch empties into Huckelberry creek near the reservoir.
