Redwood Creek is an approximately 4 mile-long perennial creek in Contra Costa County, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is named for the redwood forest where it originates.
Course
Redwood creek begins as two spring-fed branches in Dr. Aurelia Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park near Canyon and Moraga, California. It flows generally south through its narrow and densely-wooded canyon for the entirety of its course. It receives numerous intermittent tributaries on its descent through the park. Historically, Redwood Creek would have been a tributary to San Leandro Creek, but following the construction of the Upper San Leandro Reservoir in 1926, the creek drains to the lake.
