When it hasn't been raining, the water in Spring Creek is pretty low, but still enough to enjoy a swim. But when it's been raining, the water is much higher, and the current is strong. A float is recommended when the water level is high, you could easily float a mile or more. The beach is generally not too crowded, and the trails are long enough that you can walk for a decently long time without even seeing anybody else. This park is like an oasis, you don't get any noise from cars, and if you walk down the creek a bit, you won't even hear people from the beach areas, and you can swim anywhere in the creek. This is a great place to bring children, it's very family friendly, and there are so many places you can go and see nature and learn about the plants in the area. I personally haven't seen much animal life outside of some birds, but I would imagine that if you really went looking, you could find most any type of animal. I recommend Pundt Park for anybody who has kids or dogs, because there are so many trails and places to find the creek, and when I went last time, I saw several trailers of horses, which makes sense because there are many miles of equestrian trails here. And one thing that I really enjoy about the trails is that they are mostly covered by woods, so even in the middle of the day, you will get 90% shade while walking the trails, which is great in the summer.
