Deer Creek is a stream that flows through the Sierra Nevada Range in Northern California, USA.[1] The 34 miles (55 km) stream begins above Scotts Flat Lake in the alpine region in the Tahoe National Forest, continues through the middle of downtown Nevada City, is a tributary to Lake Wildwood and ends as it enters the Yuba River below Englebright Lake.
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has issued a safe advisory for any fish caught in Deer Creek due to elevated levels of mercury.[2]
Trail[edit]
The Deer Creek Tribute Trail is a series of walking trails constructed around the creek upstream from downtown Nevada City.[3]
