This Crow Creek is the Salt River tributary on the Idaho-Wyoming line near Fairview, not the Cheyenne, Wyoming Crow Creek and not the Greys River Crow Creek trail. Idaho Fish and Game lists it at 32.9 miles in Caribou County.

USGS 13025500 Crow Creek near Fairview, WY is live (official NWIS: 42.67491237, -111.0077309). That gauge is the flow number for this water. Upper Crow Creek sits on Caribou-Targhee National Forest. Lower water toward the Salt in Star Valley is largely private ranch. Star Valley public-access notes point to National Forest on the Idaho side.

IDFG Fishing Planner shows regional limits without a Crow Creek-specific special rule at the time this page was written. Verify current IDFG and WGFD Area 1 rules if you cross the state line. Stay on Forest Service land and posted easements.
