Steamboat Today The creek restoration project is being spearheaded by Trout Unlimited, a national conservation organization, along with the Forest Service and Parks and Wildlife.
Brian Hodge, Trout Unlimited’s project coordinator for Northwest Colorado, said restoring Armstrong Creek isn’t just about helping out the fish.
“This has a number of other benefits,” he said.
He said decades of different land uses in California Park have fragmented the streams in the upper Elkhead Creek watershed.
Because of this, the creeks also are delivering more sediment to Elkhead Reservoir.
Improving the creek should reverse that trend.
