	The South Platte River through people and places
		The river has not been recognized as a physical part of the city, nor is it seen as a meaningful component of the life of its inhabitants.
		Cotton wood associations along the South Platte and Cherry Creek were felled for lumber and firewood, exacerbating the intensity of the sun in a highly arid climate and disrupting the continuity of wildlife habitat.
		The river was referred to as the “finest natural highway in the world.” Pioneers crossing the plains used the south Platte as a natral pathway in which water was always available and the path was always sure.

	Platte River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although it is not navigable, the river was highly significant in the westerward expansion of the United States, providing the route for several major westward trails, including the Oregon Trail and the Mormon Trail.
		It is formed in western Nebraska east of the city of North Platte by the confluence of its two affluents, the South Platte and the North Platte rivers, both of which rise in the eastern Rockies near the Continental Divide.
		The central Platte River valley is an important stopover for migratory water birds, such as the Whooping Crane and Sandhill Crane, in their yearly traversal of the Central Flyway.

	The Platte River Nature Recreation Survey
		As the Platte River in Nebraska begins its seasonal thaw, and the ice and snow retreat from the warmth of spring, one of the world's grand wildlife spectacles is unveiled in the river's shallows.
		Wildlife watching along the Platte River is generally limited to bird watching (birding), and survey efforts were concentrated on that specific recreation.
		Platte River wildlife watchers resembled similar recreationists studied in other parts of the country regarding age (53), gender (balanced), income (over $50,000) and years of formal education (over 16 years).

	NPWRC :: Breeding Birds of the Platte River Valley
		Although water development began as early as the 1860's (direct diversion for irrigation), the primary impact on Platte River flows was not felt until the development of large storage reservoirs on the river between 1909 and 1940.
		Kingsley Dam and Lake McConaughy in Nebraska, and other reservoirs on the North Platte River upstream from Lake McConaughy, have been the major factor responsible for alteration of the flow regime in the Platte since the 1930's and consequently for the development of the wooded vegetation on the floodplain.
		Following regulation of the Platte, the breeding birds that were adapted to unvegetated sandy river channel, standing water sloughs, marshes, and wet meadows were forced into the few remaining areas of prairie-riverine habitat.

	DNR - Platte River State Fish Hatchery
		Overview: The Platte River State Fish Hatchery was established in 1928 as a satellite rearing station and converted to the state's main salmon hatchery in 1972.
		Platte River water has been used in the past but is not a desirable source due to temperature extremes, resident fish populations carrying disease, and silt which collects in the rearing units.
		The best times to see returning adult salmon in the Platte River are from mid September to mid November at the lower weir (located off Lake Michigan Road 2 miles northwest of M-22) and late September to mid October at the upper weir located at the hatchery.

	So. Platte River Duck Hunting - Colorado Division of Wildlife
		There is a general sense, either real or perceived, that the quality of waterfowl hunting has declined on public-owned lands (public lands), and possibly on private-owned lands (private lands), along the South Platte River in eastern Colorado due to fewer waterfowl (primarily ducks) inhabiting the river during winter, decreased harvest, increased crowding, and habitat change.
		During the 2005-06 waterfowl season we will develop the methodologies, determine feasibility, and refine cost estimates of future research to determine: 1) duck habitat availability, distribution, and quality, and 2) mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) habitat use and selection that may be initiated during the 2006-07 waterfowl seasons.
		The study area includes the South Platte River from the confluence with the Cache la Poudre River (near Greeley) east to the Colorado-Nebraska state line and adjacent reservoirs and bordering public and private lands.
