| 説明 | Old growth forests surround the wild and scenic stretch of Elkhorn Creek in western Oregon, May 4, 2020. BLM photo: Jonas ParkerThis is what fabulous water quality looks like.The Elkhorn Creek flows on the west flank of the Cascade Range between the Santiam and North Santiam rivers.It is within the Opal Creek Scenic Recreation Area and downstream from the Opal Creek Wilderness, with very little road access.“The water quality is fabulous,” said Jona Parker, BLM hydrologist for northwest Oregon.Water quality is one of the reasons why a 6.4-mile-long stretch of the river was designated part of the National Wild and Scenic River System in 1996.“It is one of the few, very intact, very functional stream ecosystems in western Oregon,” said Parker.During an inspection, Parker and other teammates spotted a recently created steelhead redd, or nesting site within the river rock.Spring steelhead spawning is happening right now, with juveniles making their way out to the ocean.The Elkhorn Creek flows into three successive rivers with Santiam in the name, before meeting the Willamette River.📍 How to visit: on.doi.gov/2NH4xY9 Photo archive: bit.ly/36WfJb2📲 Video: youtu.be/f4uX_6p95JA Map: bit.ly/36XBGX7Related:🔎 Finding a creek with no name: bit.ly/2XTPjEp🔄 Epic life story of a wild coho salmon: bit.ly/2M11gBC⏳ Coast Range pond water level time-lapse: bit.ly/2Uxz7Xf🌱 Saving a native wetland in southeast Oregon: bit.ly/31W3oRe🚁 Helicopter delivers 600 logs for salmon habitat: ow.ly/F5Es50xQlDK💦 Restoring the Warner Lakes watershed: ow.ly/pv8A50xFpMk‼ Freshwater mussels discovered in the Molalla River: bit.ly/2Xms18q |
