Flatwoods Stream
Jefferson County, IN. February, 2013.
This unique headwater stream is sluggish and pooled in areas as it runs through a flatwoods creek. It is semi-permanent (partially dries most years, but always keeps some flow) and has a silt/gravel bottom. Dusky salamanders, streamside salamanders, and four-toed salamanders breed here along with spotted salamanders and southern leopard frogs. Kirtland's snakes can also be found along this stream.
