Max Creek is said to be the site of a vortex, where orbs of mysterious, maybe supernatural light are sometimes seen floating around on their own. I don't know about that, but the creek is pretty much the best water source along this section of the River to River Trail. For weary thru-hikers there are plenty of flat spots to camp here, too.
