Description - Cache Creek NF Above Indian Valley Res.

Cache Creek NF, Ladybug Creek to Indian Valley Res, 10 miles, (Schwind book p198) Flow in this little creek briefly spikes a few times per year during/after the largest rainstorms and then quickly drops back down. Put-in at Ladybug Creek requires some dirt road driving and some hiking. Easier alternate put-ins may be possible along Bartlett Creek if the flow is sufficient. Take-out at or near the top of Indian Valley Reservoir. This brushy, little creek is not recommended for boating. (Lake County, California, USA)
