Excellent example of bed rock controlled channel. Trail down to river edge on the left hand side of the road. Parking space for ~2 vehicles Not suitable for gauging. Would be very dangerous in high flows.

Little blurb about the history of East Creek and the research that is being conducted there. Good example of the effects of logging on a creek as there is a clear cut right to the edge of the creek on one side of the road and the other side has mature second growth. Lots of sunlight on logged part and algae growth.

Open, wide (~10m) channel. Partially bedrock controlled. Good cross section for gauging. In the flow conditions we saw, it could have been crossed in just rubber boots. Easy access to the river. Large parking area for many cars. Shortly down stream of Marion Lake so very few fines present. Channel appears starved of sediment.
The stream bed
Not Available
Good site for bulk samples on the Alouette. Could also be used for gauging. Would be possible in rubber boots. The Mayfly is considerable steeper and is depositing much coarser material in a small fan as it reaches the Alouette. Very rapid change in grain size. Trail from study site to creek a bit bushy.
Shallow streambed with gravel bars

Creek is clogged with log jam (all cut timbers - man made?). Large accumulation of fines up stream. Not very interesting. Old abandonded artifical channel site of same design as the one lower down.

Very high sediment supply with large midchannel bars. The creek is about 5m wide and crossable in gum boots. Not suitable for gauging.

E10 is very rough, requires HC 4x4 Can hike up from main road ~5-10 mins Still large supply of sediment, partially bedrock controlled There is a study here by Kim ? on trout.

Mostly covered in sluff. There are two exposures, one in a pit just off the highway and another up a small road ~15m long. 0.5 to 1 meter of exposure and could probably see more if you had a shovel.
The cut of glacial-marine sediment

Just down the road you cross a bridge over a small (~5-8m wide) creek with step pool morphology. Good access on the right bank down old road. There is an old shed with large water intake.

Small channel (~2-3m wide), step pool morphology and incised into slope. No good access.
