Burrell Creek

Notes

This creek doesn't follow the maps of the area. You start northwest of the town of Burrell Boom at a place called No-Name Lagoon and the maps show it flowing south into the Belize River. But the current actually flows east and then north towards some unknown destination.

We detected two Hicatee signals along this stretch. We paddled to the east and then north to a small lagoon. We observed (sight and sound) several Brown Basilisk lizards escaping and certainly witnessed the aftersplash of several Morelet's Crocodiles. At some point, Day picked up a Mexican Tree Frog in his boot and it made its way up his pant leg until he discovered it there. The northern part of this lagoon was typified by low-growing branches and vines that we needed to bushwhack through while in the canoe. Before reaching the second lagoon, we needed to portage the canoe through a small, shallow run. No USGS gauge for this river and date Source: Edmond

Condition Descriptions

Flood - The river is flooding. Obstacles can be treacherous or deadly. The river should be avoided at this stage for casual trips and definitely for the inexperienced. Trips should be attempted only with protective gear and equipment.
High - The river is high and potentially dangerous, especially for the young and / or inexperienced. Normal stream obstacles are sometimes difficult to navigate. Extended distances can be attempted, but canoe travel may not be advisable.
Good - Conditions are ideal for a canoe or kayak. Boats typically will drag on fewer than one-quarter of riffles, if at all, and portages are unnecessary or rare. Normal float lengths can be attempted without a problem.
Low - River is low but can still be floated. Some riffles are okay but most come with significant dragging and might need a portage. Float lengths should be reduced to accommodate low flow, dragging, and portages.
Poor - River is too low to float comfortably. Most or all riffles will drag or must be portaged and some obstacles (such as slick shelf rock) cause undue problems. Avoid the river at this stage for casual paddling trips.
Potential - Evaluative discharge ratings do not exist for this gauge and water level. However, the current discharge is at or above the historic median value for today's date, indicating that conditions might be sufficient for a successful trip.
Unknown - A value of unknown indicates that enough information has not yet been gathered to determine a rating at the current river level. Review gauge and river data for more information.
