Characteristics

• Dyer Creek starts on the east side of Grouse Mountain and flows south and then southwest through the forested slopes of lower Grouse Mountain. Dyer flows through a culvert beneath East Braemar Road and flows into the pond just south of East Braemar Road joining Hastings Creek. Dyer is a small tributary of Hastings Creek
• Although impacted by logging early in the early 1900’s, the Dyer Creek watershed is mostly natural second-growth forest. Only the lower reach around East Braemar Road has been developed
