Yellow Creek

Highlight • River

Yellow Creek runs through the Vale of Avoca ravine, cutting a narrow channel between forested slopes and short stone embankments. The creek flows year-round and is visible from several points along the David A. Balfour Park Trail. Expect shallow water, exposed rocks, and small cascades after rain. The surrounding canopy provides steady shade, especially in summer, while fall colours make this area particularly scenic.
