The creek provides fair fishing for pan-sized cutthroat trout. Fishing is only available through Wigwam Creek for 2 miles; above that, the creek is too small to support fish. Access to the creek is provided by parking at Wigwam creek on Road 7080 and walking to the stream. Access to the stream is fair, but brush and downed timber are present. There are several dispersed recreation campsites in the Wigwam drainage and two National Forest campgrounds; Big Therriault and Little Therriault lakes.
