About

Class III-IV drops through 26 miles of Wild & Scenic corridor make Sheep Creek a technical run at low water — 34 CFS average with an optimal window of just 15–50 CFS. Bureau of Land Management oversees the Wild & Scenic designation, though coordination requirements vary by season. USGS gauge 13162225 tracks the narrow flow band that keeps this creek runnable without becoming pushy. The gradient and rock gardens that create the Class III-IV rating demand precise boat placement, especially when flows drop toward the minimum threshold.
