FISH ACCESS
WAGG CREEK
|
The upper reaches of Wagg Creek have not been accessible to salmon for several decades.
Culverts block access at every street crossing between Jones and Wagg Park, the creek flows through a long underground culvert from Queens to Chesterfield, and the upper watershed is urbanized. When the area was developed, some headwaters were rechanneled into the Hastings Creek system.
Wagg Creek is above ground for about 8 blocks, upstream of Queens.
A portion of the stream was free-flowing between Chesterfield and West 23rd Street until 1998, when that city block was redeveloped.

A small slot fish ladder was installed at the downstream end of the pond.
The pond could support fish, if water quality problems could be corrected.
