Ashland Creek Watershed

33139 What are Watersheds?
Ashland Creek is a 5.4-mile tributary that flows through the City of Ashland, Oregon where it joins with the Bear Creek Watershed. It stems from Reeder Reservoir, a man-made impoundment that stores the city’s drinking water in the Siskiyou Mountains and divides into two separate forks. The east fork runs 5.8 miles long along the flanks of Mount Ashland and the west fork runs 5.3 miles long through Lithia Park. Altogether, it drains approximately 31 square miles of land. The watershed supports mostly mixed-hardwood forest species like Pacific Madrone, California Black Oak, Oregon White Oak, and Ponderosa Pine. However, due to periodic flooding regimes at lower elevations, it also supports riparian species such as Willow and Wood Rose. Its cold water temperatures also support resident and migrant fish like salmon and trout (USGS, 2001).
