Conservation
Much of Sespe Creek is protected. The approximately 219,700-acre (889 km2) Sespe Wilderness Area encompasses 31.5 miles (50.7 km) of Sespe Creek. Established in 1992, the Wilderness Area contains a 53,000-acre (210 km2) Sespe Condor Sanctuary. Approximately 10.5 miles (16.9 km) of upper Sespe Creek have been designated as Wild and Scenic. Furthermore, the stream is designated as a Wild Trout stream from the Lion Camp area in the upper subwatershed downstream to the Los Padres National Forest boundary near the City of Fillmore.
