About Wooley Creek
Wooley Creek flows for about 22 miles (35 km). It starts high up at Man Eaten Lake. This lake is found in the Marble Mountain Wilderness. This wilderness area is part of the Klamath National Forest.
Where it Flows
The creek generally flows southwest. It eventually joins the Salmon River. This meeting point is about 4 miles (6.4 km) upstream from where the Salmon River meets the Klamath River. This spot is near a place called Somes Bar.
Exploring the Area
Wooley Creek runs through a very wild and remote area. There are no paved roads here. Only a few people live near the creek. The lower part of Wooley Creek has very challenging whitewater rapids. Because it's hard to get to, not many people go rafting or kayaking there.
There is a path called the Wooley Creek Trail. It helps people explore this wilderness area. This trail is special because you can use it all year round. This is because it is not too high up in the mountains.
