Brush Creek

A relatively undisturbed, Ozark creek with a diverse fauna and critical habitat for the federally threatened Niangua darter in the Springfield Plateau Section of The Ozark Natural Division. Brush Creek has a very stable channel and welldefined runs, riffles and pools. Forty-one species of fish have been recorded for the area and invertebrate life is also diverse. Large golden redhorse, longear sunfish, northern hog sucker, Ozark minnow, bleeding shiner and striped fantail and rainbow darters are some of the common fish.
