    MCF&G: Eagle Creek - Flood Stage vs Access (road)

    Question for those more familiar / in the know:
    With all the rain I figure it might save me a drive ...

    Is the range (Marion County Fish and Game) accessible with Eagle Creek showing at 10' on the stream gauges (they list 9' as flood stage).

    I figure the most critical spot is at the RR bridge on the entry road - this is the low point.

    Just curious - I got a new scope I want to get sighted in but I don't want to waste a trip if the road is impassible ...

    THANKS in advance for the info.

    ETA
    I had this in the right 'forum' - but since I never venture to the Eagle Creek range - the confusion was initially not evident.

    I drove by earlier, but I didn't drive down to the range. I would imagine it's fine.

    Edited to add that I live really close. If someone doesn't post before, I will drive by tomorrow on my way home from church.

    Sorry guys - I was in a hurry when I wrote the title - and beside - I know exactly which thread / forum I put it in. ... ::nuts:

    It makes perfect sense until you start opening threads from the 'new posts' rather than from an individual forum.

    Exactly. My comment was that I saw Eagle Creek and thought "Eagle Creek pistol range". Then after answering and looking at the map how absurd the concept was... I looked at where the thread was posted to and I realized what was REALLY being asked. So no worries. In thread context it made perfect sense. In new post view, it was a gotcha.

    Good luck getting in there.

    Anybody checked it recently? How is the access?

    Was out there Tuesday and it was fine.

    oops I forgot. I was there Sunday - it was fine then. -

    By then the USGS stream data showed well below flood stage at both the up and down stream gauges.
    The access road low point didn't even seem 'wet' - so it was probably fine up to flood stage (at least) ... :dunno:
