North Creek is stocked with trout and it seemed to be a major attractant for locals.  Although the stream is catch-and-release only, there was a freshly killed fish head in one of the slower pools of the stream, just after a fisherman left the area.  Other than that gruesome image, the stream and riparian zone made for a excellent place to relax in the sun and read Four Fish.
