Roaring Fork River
On 22 June 2001, we conducted a site visit on the Roaring Fork River to determine
placement of IFIM sites based upon channel morphology and hydraulic conditions. The
Roaring Fork River from the confluence of the Fryingpan River downstream through the
town of Carbondale consists of a fairly uniform mixture of riffle/run habitats. Pool
habitat is relatively uncommon throughout this reach. Our original intent was to select
two locations for IFIM sites; however, due to the relatively consistent channel
morphology throughout the reach, we opted to use only one site. This channel type is
referenced as Roaring Fork River Tree Farm (RFR-TF). This representative site was
established on the "Tree Farm" USFS land (Site location: Figure 2; Site picture: Figure
10).
