West Chevelon Canyon COA

West Chevelon Creek consists of primarily intermittent flow at most times of the year, though it contains an upstream portion of permanent water that contains a reintroduced population of Little Colorado spinedace and speckled dace. The entirety of West Chevelon will be managed primarily for self-sustaining populations of native fish. Bluehead sucker are believed to have been extirpated following extreme drought in 2002 and are recommended for repatriation.
