Salt Creek Spawning Gravel Habitat Infusion

More than 21,000 tons of gravel was placed into the Sacramento River to provide spawning habitat for salmon and trout in the upper reaches of the river and its tributaries. Spawning habitat has been reduced over time due to water flows pushing gravel downstream. Spanning approximately 200 feet by 80 feet, the new gravel aims to replenish supply in an important historic spawning location near Salt Creek – about a mile south of the Keswick Dam.
