Exploring McCoy Creek, Berrien County, Michigan

This video—produced by Joseph Dits of the South Bend (Indiana) Tribune—is narrated by Scott King, a volunteer with McCoy’s Creek Trail in Buchanan, Michigan:



This is indeed a lovely area, but to compare it to a West Virginia Appalachian Mountain trout stream is a bit of a stretch. The trout and salmon that Mr. King describes are not native to McCoy Creek; all of them owe their presence in the watershed to intentional (and repeated) releases by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
