From Divide through Curtin to Anlauf, I-5 runs along Pass Creek's upper reaches. Downstream of Anlauf, concurrent highways, Oregon Route 38 and Oregon Route 99, follow the creek to Drain. Named tributaries of Pass Creek from source to mouth are Ward, Bear, Pheasant, Buck, Rock, Sand, and Fitch creeks. Further downstream are Johnson, Krewson, and Hedrick creeks.[3]
Pass Creek Park, managed by Douglas County, is along the creek near Curtin and I-5 exit 163. The park serves as an overnight campground for recreational vehicles, pickup campers, and tents, as well as a day-use area. Amenities include fire rings, fishing sites, a pavilion, picnic tables, a play structure, restrooms, and showers.[4]
Covered bridgeEdit
Pass Creek Bridge, a covered bridge, once carried stagecoaches and then motor vehicles over Pass Creek in Drain before being moved a few hundred feet from its original location in 1987 and reassembled behind the Drain Civic Center.[5] Through 2014, when the city closed the deteriorating bridge completely, it carried pedestrian traffic.[6]
