Beaver Creek - Below Skaguay Reservoir

Beaver Creek is a sizable stream year-round. Its headwaters reach to the top of Pikes Peak. The section below Skaguay Reservoir is a long, gentle meadow that runs almost 3 miles before it drops into an untamed, un-trailed, harsh canyon. Few venture into this region. The meadow section does receive more adventurers because of its beauty, easy access, and fishing opportunities. This is a great place to take beginner flyfishers with runs, pools, and an ample supply of Cutthroat Trout.
