More than 30 miles of the San Miguel are a protected area, as pats of the area were purchased by the ″Nature Conservancy Association″ in 1989.
The preserved zone hosts a riparian habitat, featuring the typical vegetation such as grey alders and narrowleaf cottonwood. The native fish include rather rare species such as cutthroat trout and the mottled sculpin. The River also features a 2,000 feet high, narrow canyon with walls of red-rock sandstone. American dippers have built their nests.
Bridal Veil Creek of Bridal Veil Falls and other creeks above Telluride join to form the river, which first flows to the west through Telluride. Other tributaries include the South Fork of the San Miguel River, which joins from the south and itself has various creeks and the Lake Fork of the San Miguel River as tributaries.
Whitewater kayakers and boaters enjoy many sections on the San Miguel. Other popular outdoor activities at San Miguel River include walking, hiking and fly fishing, for which the conditions are best from July to September.
