Willow Creek Water Flow at Laws Camp?

[JT90505]

Can anyone provide information on current Willow Creek (or Tahquitz Creek) water flow at/near Laws Camp? Appreciate any information...

Apparently there's a little but not much. See this forum post. Look for Fred's second post.

Willow Creek has water, but it is very low. Definately needs to be filtered. Water at the spring in Tahquitz Valley.

Water at the spring in Tahquitz Valley.

Ulysses,

Which one is that? What's it near?

Just got back. Willow Creek was bone dry in vacinity of Laws, but there is a small, clear pool at the bridge which provided ample drinking water.

No idea how much longer it will last.

Hi Jim. It's the one near the trail junction about a mile east of Saddle Junction where the trail heads over to Little Tahquitz Valley.

Is that the one that's just on the fringes of Tahquitz Meadow, approximately where point "A" is on this map? The one I'm thinking of is slightly recessed and flows out of a pipe.

The reason I ask is that I've been told that there's another good spring around there, maybe just slightly to the north, more towards Skunk Cabbage Meadow. I don't suppose you've got any info on that one, do you?

No I don't know of another spring, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is one. And yes that is the spring I was referring to. Best water in the world.

[Hikin_Jim]

Yep, and pretty reliable too, except in winter.

I've always wondered, when you say "best water in the world", do you filter still?
