Here is a list of all of the barrier projects in the database. New barrier projects will constantly be added to the database, so keep checking back for new additions. As new ones are added, a search feature will make finding specific information easier. Click on a stream name to VIEW that record.


Aravaipa Creek (downstream barrier), AZ

Barrier constructed to protect native fish assemblage above barrier.
Aravaipa Creek (upstream barrier), AZ

Built to protect native fish assemblage upstream of the barrier.
Beaver Creek, CO

The falls barrier was built in 1994 to help in the restoration efforts of Colorado cutthroat trout. This barrier is used to keep nonnative fishes from migrating upstream, restoring a drainage that includes 20 stream miles. The barrier washed out shortly after installation and needed to be rebuilt to allow for overflow on both sides.
Big Coulee Creek, MT

After six years of brook trout suppresion westslope cutthroat trout were very close to being displaced by brook trout. This is the last pure population of westslope in the Highwood Creek drainage.
Cabin Creek, WY

Barrier was installed to keep out nonnative fish such as the brook trout and to help restore the Colorado cutthroat trout population.
Chamberlain Creek, MT

Sympatric population brook trout and westslope in vicinity of barrier site. Suppresion for six years. Will monitor for brook trout and eradicate if necessary using electrofishing equipment.
Clear Creek, WY

Barrier put in to aid in the restoration of Colorado River cutthroat trout and stop the invasion of Brook trout.
Cottonwood Creek, MT

Crawford Creek, MT

Pure population of westslope above barrier high in drainage. Between upper barrier and constructed barrier, fish are highly hybridized. Plan is to construct barrier, treat upstream with piscicides, recolonize from pure headwater source.
Crystal Creek, WY

This barrier is meant to keep out brook trout and restore the Colorado River cutthroat trout. It is a part of a larger restoration project for the Colorado River cutthroat trout.
Gilbert Creek (border barrier), WY

Barrier was installed to protect the Colorado River cutthroat trout from invasive species like the brook trout. Barrier intended to isolate portion of the drainage during chemical restoration project. The log components will be removed in 5-10 years once Wyoming Game & Fish Department and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources determine the main barrier near the USFS border is keeping non-native fishes from migrating upstream. The gabion components will be left intact.
Gilbert Creek (mainstem), WY

Barrier was installed to protect the Colorado River cutthroat trout from invasive species like the brook trout. Barrier intended to isolate portion of the drainage during chemical restoration project. The log components will be removed in 5-10 years once Wyoming Game & Fish Department and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources determine the main barrier near the USFS border is keeping non-native fishes from migrating upstream. The gabion components will be left intact.
Hall Creek, MT

This weir was constructed in 1989 for the restoration of westslope cutthroat trout. The barrier was constructed to block the upstream movement of brook trout and rainbow trout. From 1990 to 1999 the barrier allowed temporary springtime passage by reducing the spill height.
Indian Creek, WY

Barrier was installed to keep out nonnative fish such as the brook trout and to help restore the Colorado River cutthroat trout population.
Labarge mainstem, WY

Barrier was installed to keep out nonnative fish such as the brook trout and to help restore the Colorado River cutthroat trout population.
Lake Fork Conejos River, CO

A falls barrier was built in 1997 to help restore the Rio Grande cutthroat trout. The barrier is used to block the upstream movement of nonnative fishes.
Las Animas Creek, NM

Downstream termination of effort to restore Rio Grande cutthroat trout, RG sucker, and RG chub to watershed; proposed antimycin treatment.
Little Clear Creek, WY

Barrier was installed to keep out nonnative fish such as the brook trout and to help restore the Colorado River cutthroat trout population.
Little Gilbert trib (lower), WY

Barrier is meant to keep out brook trout and to help in the restoration of the Colorado River cutthroat trout. Barrier intended to isolate portion of the drainage during chemical restoration project. The barrier will be removed in 5-10 years once Wyoming Game & Fish Department determines the main barrier near the USFS border is keeping non-native fishes from migrating upstream.
Little Gilbert trib (upper), WY

Barrier was installed to protect the Colorado River cutthroat trout from invasive species like the brook trout. Barrier intended to isolate portion of the drainage during chemical restoration project. The barrier will be removed in 5-10 years once Wyoming Game & Fish Department determines the main barrier near the USFS border is keeping non-native fishes from migrating upstream.
Little Vermejo, NM

Barrier was constructed to keep brook trout out and to conserve the Rio-Grande cutthroat trout.
Lower Costilla Creek, NM

Barrier was established to keep the brook trout from invading Rio-Grande cutthroat habitat.
Middle Fork Little Belt Creek, MT

Sympatric population brook trout and westslope above old failing culvert. Seven years of brook trout suppresion. After installation brook trout will be eradicated using backpack electrofishers.
Middle Fork Ponil Creek, NM

Original culvert was failing so the culvert was replaced and modified to block fish movement.
Nameless Creek, WY

Barrier was installed to keep out nonnative fish such as the brook trout and to help restore the Colorado River cutthroat trout population.
Pilgrim Creek, MT

The headwaters of Pilgrim hold pure westslope. There is limited hybridization upstream of natural chute velocite barrier. Modifications were made to the partial barrier to make it effective at more flows (i.e. falls chute barrier complex).
Ricardo Creek, NM

Barrier is meant to keep out brook trout and restore the Rio-Grande cutthroat trout.
Shafer Creek, WY

Barrier was installed to keep out nonnative fish such as the brook trout and to help restore the Colorado River cutthroat trout population.
South LaBarge, WY

Barrier was installed to keep out nonnative fish such as the brook trout and to help restore the Colorado River cutthroat trout population.
Spring Creek, WY

Barrier built to keep out brook trout and restore Colorado River cutthroat trout.
Upper Costilla Creek, NM

Westside Trib (ephemeral channel), WY

Barrier was made to help restore Colorado River cutthroat trout by keeping out brook trout. This barrier is temporary. Barrier intended to isolate portion of the drainage during chemical restoration project. The barrier will be removed in 5-10 years once Wyoming Game & Fish Department determines the main barrier near the USFS border is keeping non-native fishes from migrating upstream.
Westside Trib (perennial channel), WY

Barrier was established to keep brook trout out and to restore the Colorado River cutthroat trout. Barrier is temporary. Barrier intended to isolate portion of the drainage during chemical restoration project. The barrier will be removed in 5-10 years once Wyoming Game & Fish Department determines the main barrier near the USFS border is keeping non-native fishes from migrating upstream.
