Remaining Marsh Creek, Declo, Idaho

by Silverfeather - last update: Mar 20, 2005

Location: Declo, Idaho MARSH CREEK

MARSH CREEK IN THE DISTANCE
Years ago, Marsh Creek was a larger expansion of water... The Pioneers from the "Oregon Trail" had to travel close by it in Wagon Trains. Not much is left of "Marsh Creek," except for a body or large "pond" of water from run-off of the "South Hills" located just outside of the small rural Town of Declo, Idaho.
Marsh Creek now serves as a private Wildlife & Bird Refuge (located on Private Land) for many of the Wildlife habitat in the area. Marsh Creek generally "dries up" during the hot Summer months.

Pros:"Marsh Creek outside of Declo, Idaho was once a larger body of water."
Cons:"There is only a "remenant" of Marsh Creek left, located on State Highway 81, Idaho."
In A Nutshell:"Oregon-Trail Pioneers were able to take full advantage of the "greater" Marsh Creek on thier travels through Southeastern Idaho in the 1800's."
