Summary Information
Fish Passability 0
Fish Passage is an area of concern for this site.
COMPLETE PASSAGE BARRIER BUT WOULD NOT RECONNECT MUCH UPSTREAM
A future visit to this site is recommended. MAXIMUM UPSTREAM HABITAT WOULD BE 1.5 MILES, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THE MAJORITY DRIES UP. THE NEXT UPSTREAM CROSSING APPEARED TO BE DRY
These non-native species were observerd at this site: Spotted Knapweed
