Saguache Creek is a picturesque 88.5-mile stream that flows through the heart of Saguache County in south central Colorado. The name Saguache comes from the Ute word Saguaguachipa, meaning water of the blue earth. This freestone stream with moderate gradient features a diverse mix of riffles, runs, and pools, with water flow varying by season. Set within a stunning landscape framed by the La Garita Mountains, the creek flows through broad grassland valleys flanked by ancient forests of towering spruce and fir. The area is renowned for its solitude and natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for anglers seeking both quality fishing and a wilderness experience away from crowded waters.
