Intermittent Streams and FishNative SpeciesDue to the intermittent nature of Pinnacles’ streams, the three-spined stickleback is the only native fish species in the park. This predatory fish primarily feeds on aquatic insects and can grow up to three inches long when fully mature. The stickleback is often observed along the Bear Gulch and South Wilderness Trails. Occasionally, other fish species may swim upstream from the Salinas River during floods, but they typically do not survive through the summer's dry conditions. Non-Native Species
