[1] The headwaters of Woodin Creek are a spring near Battle Ground Lake State Park and flow southwest through the city of Battle Ground before turning south to empty into Salmon Creek near the SR 503 bridge.
[2] The Woodin Creek Watershed is a sub-unit of the Salmon Creek Watershed and is further divided by the city of Battle Ground at the county level for the purposes of Clark County restoration efforts and environmental impact studies.
Stream monitoring by Clark County Environmental Services shows that Woodin Creek is in poor health below Battle Ground.
According to Clark County studies, it is likely that Woodin Creek will remain in poor condition or degrade further as urban development of the Battle Ground area continues.
Current restoration and management strategies for Woodin Creek include finding and removing bacteria sources, adding streamside trees, minimizing runoff from development projects, retaining forests and reforesting unused fields and pastures.
