McCormick (U.S. Route 90) highway bridge across the waterway at Mile 747.5 has a bascule span with a clearance of 37 feet at the center. In 2009, a fixed highway bridge with a design clearance of 65 feet was under construction close north of the bascule bridge; upon completion, it will replace the bascule bridge. An overhead power cable 35 feet north of the bridge has a clearance of 80 feet.
At Mile 749.5, a fixed highway bridge with a clearance of 65 feet crosses the creek.
Numerous snags and old piling, many covered at high water, are on both sides of the waterway for a distance of about 5.7 miles from the vicinity of Oak Landing, Mile 749.8, to Palm Valley Landing, Mile 755.5. Particular care should be taken in this section to stay in the center of the channel.
