Hi, I was looking to buy one of these. But running ground radials will be a
problem because the area is woods. I was looking to not using ground radials. I
do have a small running stream in the woods. Would a ground rod in the stream,
offer a good counterpoise that would eliminate the need for radials?

A ground rod would result in rather high ground losses.
With woods all around, why not put up a multi-band dipole?
