Scrubby Creek is a relatively short waterway, approximately 4 kilometers in length, located within the East Boyd State Forest on the New South Wales South Coast, near the locality of Narrabarba. The primary access point for paddlers is the Scrubby Creek Forest Rest Area, which serves as a key facility. This area provides a boat ramp suitable for launching various sizes of watercraft, including kayaks and paddle boards, as well as a jetty. The rest area itself offers basic amenities for trip preparation, including toilets, covered picnic tables, and fireplaces, with clean drinking water available from a tap. Access to the site is via a dirt road, which can become slippery when wet. The waterway flows through a forested setting, with the rest area situated within the broader South Coast region, an area known for its diverse natural habitats and birdwatching opportunities. The overall character of the paddling experience is shaped by this forest environment, offering a connection to local wildlife and natural scenery. The presence of a dedicated boat ramp and adjacent forest rest area indicates this is an established location for launching small, human-powered craft into the creek for exploration.
