The segment lies within the CNHP- <br /> designated Roubideau Creek Potential Conservation Area. <br /> Preliminary Classification: Wild <br /> Rationale - Although there are no roads or water diversions along this stretch of Roubideau <br /> Creek, a large diversion upstream significantly reduces water flow. The shoreline is essentially <br /> primitive. The only evidence of human activity is single track trails that cross the creek. <br /> JUNE 2010 BLM UNCOMPAHGRE FIELD OFFICE,COLORADO 43 <br /> Final Wild and Scenic River Eligibility Report <br />
