Arizona Wildlife Conservation Strategy

Indian Creek (Sycamore Creek-Agua Fria River) COA

The Indian Creek management unit will be managed for self-sustaining populations of native aquatic species, including roundtail chub, desert sucker, longfin dace, Gila topminnow, northern Mexican gartersnake, and lowland leopard frog. The Prescott NF has plans to dredge out pool habitat at Upper Water Spring. Once that is complete, and if habitat looks suitable and sufficient, Gila topminnow will be stocked to establish a recovery population.
