Spring Creek is one of the small feeder streams of Dry Creek, a tributary of the Walla Walla River in Walla Walla County, WA. While Spring Creek is somewhat 'flashy' by nature and subject to rapidly increasing flows influenced by weather events such as rapid snow melt (Chinooks) or intense rainstorms, it has strong base flows of very cold water of good quality issuing from several springs. Due to bridges, culverts and drop structures, however, Spring Creek has been inaccessible for fish since at least 1921 when the bridge into the A. L. Kibler farm headquarters was constructed.

The confluence of Spring Creek with Dry Creek is about three miles southwest of Dixie, WA. The lowest barrier targeted for removal was at 46.11388 N, 118.21079 W at the Jay Nowogrowski Farm headquarters. Approximately 1/2 mile upstream at the Margaret Kibler Farm, 46.10853 N, 188.20401 W, a second barrier was targeted. The remediation of these passage barriers opened up over three miles of this spring fed cold-water stream to fish use. The project was completed in the spring of 2010. Step-up log weirs were used to remediate both barriers.
