Still Creek originates above the Taponga River in the Big River State Forest. The paddleable section begins from Big River Road, offering a run of approximately 2.5 to 3 kilometres that is rated predominantly grade 2.

The put-in is accessible from Big River Road, and paddlers have two take-out options: where Still Creek meets the Taponga River, or continuing further downstream to the confluence with the Big River and taking out at Big River Bridge.

The character of the run is defined by a series of ledge-style grade 2 drops, with a notable weir drop of approximately 1.5 metres located roughly halfway through the section. This weir can be run when there are no logs present below it, but paddlers should scout it carefully before committing. The creek also presents ongoing hazards in the form of trees and log jams throughout the run. These obstacles are generally visible with enough advance notice to allow paddlers to exit and portage around or over them, but attentiveness is required throughout the section.

The overall gradient and character make this a relatively accessible whitewater run for paddlers comfortable at the grade 2 level, though the combination of wood hazards and the weir drop means it should not be treated casually. The forested setting within the Big River State Forest gives the run a natural, bush character.
