Johns Creek is a 14miles stream in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is a tributary of the Oostanaula River and was named in honor of John Fields, a local Cherokee Indian.[1]
Johns Creek originates on the eastern slope of Johns Mountain in Walker County. From there, the stream flows south through the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest into Floyd County. South of the Floyd-Gordon county line, Johns Creek is joined by Pocket Creek and briefly flows west for about 1300feet before turning south again. From there, the stream passes by Everett Springs.
South of the national forest, Johns Creek forms the boundary between Floyd and Gordon counties, passing under Georgia State Route 156. Eventually, the stream empties into the Oostanaula River.[2] [3]
Rainbow trout is present on Johns Creek through fish stocking. Redeye bass is another species present on the stream.[4] [5]
