Redwood Creek (Contra Costa County)

Redwood Creek is a small, intermittent stream located in Contra Costa County, California. It is part of the larger San Francisco Bay watershed. The creek's drainage area primarily encompasses the Las Trampas Regional Wilderness and surrounding unincorporated areas.

The creek's flow is highly seasonal, with significant runoff during the winter rainy season and minimal to no flow during the dry summer months. Its waters eventually contribute to the San Ramon Creek, which flows into the Walnut Creek and ultimately into Suisun Bay.

The vegetation surrounding Redwood Creek is characteristic of the East Bay region, including oak woodlands, chaparral, and grasslands. The creek provides habitat for various wildlife species, including small mammals, birds, and amphibians, depending on the availability of water.

Due to its relatively small size and intermittent flow, Redwood Creek is not typically used for recreational activities such as boating or fishing. However, it contributes to the overall ecological health of the Las Trampas Regional Wilderness and provides a valuable water source for local flora and fauna.
