Muddy Creek

Muddy Creek is just what its name implies; it's muddy! The creek is a tributary to the Catawba River and is located downstream from Lake James. NCTU is working closely with area farmers, State agencies, volunteers and other organizations to re-build the creek to reduce the huge volume of sediment the creek pours into the Catawba River. This sediment chokes the eco-system of the river and prevents the habitation native fish. Read about the proposal. Read what the Catawba "could be".
