There are no major dams on the Big Creek, although there are several smaller diversions for irrigation purposes. The Big Creek watershed is home to a variety of wildlife, including bighorn sheep and black bears. Interestingly, the Big Creek area was once a site for silver mining in the late 1800s, but now serves as a recreational area for hiking and fishing.
