Black Earth Creek access provides multiple road crossing entry points and designated public fishing access areas near Cross Plains (including Zander Park and Stagecoach Road) and along County Highway KP, with well-marked yellow standards and signage.

The creek is a Class I trout stream suitable for wading and fly fishing, with several WDNR Fishery Areas offering public access; the Wolf Run Trail near Mazomanie provides a restored stream section with trail access for hiking and paddling opportunities.
