The private pilot was landing on a remote airstrip next to a river when the left main wheel encountered a soft spot, which pulled the airplane to the left toward a deep gully and creek. The pilot applied power to get over the gully and creek, but the airplane encountered a patch of willows, and settled into the creek, striking the bank. The airplane sustained structural damage to the wings, fuselage, and landing gear.
Probable Cause: The pilot's selection of unsuitable terrain for landing, which resulted in a loss of control during the landing roll, and a collision with willows and a creek bank. A factor associated with the accident was the soft landing area.
