MonitoringLocationDescriptionText Dutton Creek is a tributary of Castle Creek to the southwest of Crater Lake, originating at an elevation of approximately 2090 m. The stream flows intermittently for much of its length, becoming perennial at an elevation of approximately 1900 m. During late summer, the study section of Dutton Creek consisted of a series of isolated pools separated by longer reaches of subsurface flow. Surface flow was not observed for several hundred meters downstream from the septic leach field. At the site the slope is 15% and the drainage area is 0.94 km2.
