Succor Creek
Succor Creek is a 69.4-mile-long (111.7 km)[1] tributary of the Snake River in the U.S. states of Idaho and Oregon.[2] The creek begins in the Owyhee Mountains in Owyhee County, Idaho.[2] After flowing for about 23 miles (37 km) in Idaho, Succor Creek enters Malheur County, Oregon, where it flows for 39 miles (63 km) before re-entering Idaho for its final 5 miles (8.0 km).[3] It joins the Snake near Homedale, about 413 river miles (665 km) from the larger river's confluence with the Columbia River.[4]
Succor Creek State Natural Area is 30 miles (48 km) south of Nyssa along an unpaved road off Oregon Route 201. It has only primitive camping with no potable water.[5] The canyon in which the natural area is located is known for fossils, geologic formations, and thundereggs, the Oregon state rock.[6]
