Beaver were plentiful, Fish were numerous too until an oriental family netted them 10 years ago, yes netted them.
Homeowners along the creek cleaned up the garbage left by the public park attendees [which would wash along the creek] for years however as the county absorbed more land, that left more and more garbage. Over by the old dam, and where water/sewer pipes cross the creek, there’s usually a garbage bonanza; soccer balls, and enough styrofoam to insulate a stadium. The “bike path”, has done more to damage that once beautiful creek than 65 years of housing on the creek
