Mineral Creek - Fish Barrier to Headwaters COA

Mineral Creek from the fish barrier near the USFS boundary upstream to the headwaters is managed for Apache trout recovery and closed to all fishing. Future in-stream habitat improvements may benefit Apache trout and other native fish species, such as Little Colorado spinedace.
