Although Big Elk Creek is not strictly in the study area for the project, observations were made to allow comparison with conditions in Little Elk Creek.  At location 25, Big Elk Creek passes next to a City Park and the riparian vegetation is primarily lawn.  One team member reported having previously visited this location and watched shad milling around below the bridge, taking turns fighting the current on their way upstream.
