Spring Creek

Spring Creek (Cornville)Description: Spring Creek is a small, permanent creek that flows into the much larger Oak Creek. It is quite narrow but boasts nice Sycamores and Cottonwoods. It’s charm lies in the fact that it is the only sliver of riparian habitat in several miles of dry, flat desert and is perceived as an oasis of sorts by birds.
