About this location
Bridge-side access on Mud Creek at Brookside Camp Road. Mud Creek drains the Hendersonville area and is one of the more consistently impaired tributaries in the French Broad watershed, with elevated E. coli levels linked to both agricultural runoff and aging wastewater infrastructure. This monitoring site helps track bacterial inputs from the Mud Creek corridor before it reaches the French Broad River.
