Stollsteimer Creek


Stollsteimer Creek is a tributary of the Piedra River in Archuleta County, Colorado.

Course

The creek rises southwest of Pagosa Springs, Colorado in the San Juan National Forest, at a point north-northwest of Oak Brush Hill. From there, it flows generally north to a point just south of Highway 160. Next it flows generally west, staying just to the south of the highway. Near Capote Lake, the stream turns south and flows along the eastern shore of the lake. The lake is filled with water from the creek via a ditch on the lake's south side. Next the creek enters the Southern Ute Indian Reservation and flows south along Colorado State Highway 151 until its confluence with the Piedra River southwest of Chimney Rock National Monument.
