Much of the Capitol Reef region is considered “high desert,” with an average of 8 inches (20.3 cm) of precipitation a year. Despite this classification, there are a few perennial (year-round) water sources, like the Fremont River and Sulphur Creek, that can support fish populations. The park is home to several species, some native and some non-native or introduced. A complete Wildlife Checklist can be downloaded.
