DESCRIPTION

Four restoration projects were completed in the Sauk River Watershed during the summer of 1998. The first project was Gravel Creek. Gravel Creek drains into a Sauk River wetland slough at river mile 16.1. This project involved the replacement of a fish barrier culvert with 10 rock weirs and two LWD structures along 152 feet (46 m) of stream in order to allow access to over 10,000 feet (3049 m) of upstream spawning habitat. Native trees and shrubs (75) were planted along 125 feet (38 m) of the riparian zone (both stream banks). Cutthroats utilize Gravel Creek.Surveys have been conducted every winter since 1998-99 by SFEG. From 1998 to 2006
no salmon have been observed in the creek, though an occasional cutthroat trout is observed.
