Keeping Santa Rosa’s Creeks HealthyWe are all connected to a nearby creek by the inlets, pipes, and ditches of the storm drain system, meaning that anything we spill or drop on the street can wind up in our creeks. Santa Rosa’s creeks bring many benefits to our neighborhoods, from wildlife habitat to recreation. Keeping them clean and safe requires everyone’s help. Healthy creeks start at home, at work, and on our routes of travel.
M A I N TA I N I N G A H E A LT H Y W AT E R S H E D
A wa t e r s h e d is an area of land that drains to a common body of water such as a creek, river, lake, or ocean. A healthy watershed provides clean water for people, plants, and wildlife.
F L O O D P R E V E N T I O N & H A B I TAT M A N A G E M E N T
The Sonoma County Water Agency’s access roads serve as the core of Santa Rosa’s creek trail system. Every year, the Water Agency’s Stream Maintenance Program crews (scwa.ca.gov/flood-protection) remove sediment and vegetation in creeks throughout Santa Rosa. This work is designed to maximize habitat for fish and wildlife while reducing the risk of floods during the rainy season.
One of the Water Agency’s overarching goals is to establish a riparian (streamside) canopy—mature trees along a creek, with branches stretching over the water. The canopy helps keep the water cool and shades out less desirable plant species.
This goal is achieved by selectively thinning brush and multi-trunk trees on stream banks and planting single-trunk, canopy-forming trees. Over time, a mature riparian canopy develops, reducing the level of maintenance required.
Pick up the leaves! Flooding can occur when storm drain inlets get plugged. Keep leaves and yard debris out of street gutters: either compost plant material or put it in the green waste cans. City streets are swept regularly to help prevent blockages and keep
pollutants out of storm drains. You can find out what day of the month your street is swept by visiting srcity.org/publicworks
Storm water is rainwater that flows from our streets, roofs, parking lots, yards, and driveways into roadside ditches, street gutters, and then into the pipes of the storm drain system.
Storm water is not cleaned or treated—it flows through the storm drain system straight into our waterways. Any pollutants that storm water picks up are washed directly into our creeks and eventually to the Russian River and Pacific Ocean. Common storm water pollutants include cigarette butts, litter, oil and grease from cars, paint, fertilizers, pesticides, lawn clippings and leaves, pet waste, soapy water, sediment, and construction materials.
Santa Rosa’s storm drain system includes nearly 100 miles of creeks, 320 miles of underground pipes, and more than 1,500 outfalls into creeks. Many additional miles of private storm drain pipes connect to the City’s storm drain system.
Storm water pollution is a challenging water quality problem with one primary source—people. It is caused by our daily activities everywhere. Increasing our awareness of the connection made by the storm drain system to our creeks is essential to reducing storm water pollution.
REMINDER: PREVENTING POLLUTION IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN CLEANING UP!

Everyone can do a few simple things to help protect creeks and the animals that live in them by taking care of their home and neighborhood and reporting pollution when they see it. Visit srcity.org/pollutionprevention to find out how you can make a difference.
• Keep streets clean. Never sweep or wash debris from your yard into the street or storm drain.
• Check the forecast. Don’t apply chemicals to your yard when rain is in the forecast. Plan to use organic fertilizers and less-toxic pesticides and herbicides; be sure to check the labels.
• Prevent spills. Store chemicals and other potential pollutants out of the weather.
• Take your car to a car wash, or wash it on gravel or grass where the runoff can soak into the ground. Do not let soapy water flow into the streets or storm drains.
• Fix leaky cars. Capture oil drips on cardboard. Clean up fluid leaks and spills with kitty litter or other absorbent material, sweep it up, and throw it into the trash.
• Clean up after your pet. Whether you’re on a walk or in your own backyard—scoop the poop! Then, toss the bags into the trash.
• Create a rain garden. Slow it. Spread it. Sink it. Save it. Direct runoff from your roof to landscaped areas where it can sink into the ground.
• Volunteer. Join a creek cleanup or restoration project The Creek Stewardship Program and Laguna Keepers are great places to start.
• Get out and enjoy your creeks. Explore the many creek trails in Santa Rosa. One of the best ways to help is to be the eyes, ears, and voice of the creek. Let us know what you see happening out there!
C R E E K S T E W A R D S H I P P R O G R A M

C R E E K R E S T O R AT I O N
During the 1960s and 70s, in order to alleviate historic flooding problems, many of Santa Rosa’s creeks were channelized for flood control. Vegetation was removed, and creeks were straightened and reshaped into steep sided, flat-bottomed channels, often lined with rock. The resulting reduction of instream habitat, lack of streamside vegetation, and higher summertime water temperatures adversely affected native fish and wildlife.Restoration efforts began in the late 1990s to return our creeks to a more natural state, including the creation of pools (lowering water temperature), riffles with fast moving water (raising oxygen levels and creating habitat for aquatic insects), and shelter for fish (such as undercut banks, boulders, and downed logs). Restoration projects also remove barriers to fish migration and replant the creek corridor with native trees and shrubs.

P l e a s e k e e p d o g s o n l e a s h when using the creek trails. Remember to pick up after your pet— the trails are shared by many people and animals in the community.
Prince Memorial Greenway: Murals, sculptures and colorful benches enliven the Prince Memorial Greenway and its network of pathways and footbridges that link businesses and shopping in Downtown with Railroad Square. Restoration efforts began in 2000 to replace the concrete channel with a more natural creek that could support vegetation and wildlife.
Joe Rodota Trail: Near the railroad tracks on the Prince Memorial Greenway, this Sonoma County Regional Parks trail branches off to Sebastopol. From there, the West County Trail continues to Forestville. For more information, visit: parks.sonomacounty.ca.gov
Santa Rosa Creek Greenway Trail: West of the Joe Rodota Trail bridge, the Prince Greenway continues downstream as the Santa Rosa Creek Trail. A paved bicycle path on the north side continues six miles west to Willowside Road. Runners and walkers often prefer the less-traveled gravel trail on the creek’s south bank.
College, Piner and Peterson Trails: Unpaved gravel trails along College, Piner and Peterson Creeks join the Santa Rosa Greenway as the creek flows westward.
Brush Creek Trail: North of Highway 12, an unpaved trail follows the east bank of Brush Creek, connecting to Austin and Ducker Creek trails. On the west bank, the paved trail runs 1.5 miles along Brush Creek from Montecito Boulevard to the confluence with Santa Rosa Creek at Flat Rock Neighborhood Park. From the Flat Rock footbridge, a paved pathway heads east along Santa Rosa Creek to Mission Boulevard and on-street connections to Howarth Park.
One half mile east of Mission Boulevard the trail ends at Trailhead Park. West of the Flat Rock footbridge, the paved trail continues for a quarter mile before becoming a dirt path that leads to Farmers Lane.
Austin and Ducker Creek Trails: Water Agency access roads follow portions of these quiet creeks, connecting neighbors to parks, schools, and shopping centers.
Piner and Paulin Creek Trails: The quiet gravelled pathways along Piner and Paulin Creeks offer a variety of distances for the walker looking for a shady outing on a hot summer day or curious to observe the roiling mix of waters where the creeks meet following a winter storm. This is a good area for observing birds.
Kawana Springs Creek Trail: (Also known as Upper Colgan Creek Trail.) Neighbors near Petaluma Hill Road enjoy the easy access this trail provides to shopping on Santa Rosa Avenue. A trail is proposed to follow the creek eastward to Taylor Mountain Regional Park.
Colgan Creek Trail: In southwest Santa Rosa, the Colgan Creek Trail is paved for nearly 1.5 miles from Stony Point Road to Bellevue Avenue near Elsie Allen High School. The trail continues upstream through the Lower Colgan Creek Restoration.
Roseland Creek Trail: Extending both upstream and downstream from Stony Point Road, the Roseland Creek Trail is partially paved. In both directions, these quiet trails offer expansive views westward across the Laguna de Santa Rosa and of the mountains to the east.
Laguna de Santa Rosa Trail: Visitors can discover the biologically diverse landscape of Sonoma County’s largest freshwater wetland. Internationally recognized for its ecological importance, the Laguna’s marshes, vernal pools, riparian woodland, and valley oak savannah are rich habitat for wildlife and plants. The 1.8 mile multi-use trail is open to hikers and equestrians, with a 0.6 mile pedestrian-only (no dogs, please!) loop towards the Laguna.
SMART Multi-Use Pathway: When completed, this path will serve as a major off-street north-south route, with connections to other popular trails and bikeways.

BE SAFE WHILE RIDING THE CREEK TRAILS
Creek trails offer opportunities for fun and recreation. To make the experience enjoyable and safe, here are a few guidelines for sharing the trails with fellow bicyclists, joggers, dog walkers, strollers, and everyone else.
• TRAVEL ON THE RIGHT – PASS ON THE LEFT. Walk or ride on the right side of the path. Slow down when passing another trail user, move to the left side of the trail and pass at a safe speed. Use a bike bell or call out “on your left,” to let others know that you are approaching and intend to pass.
• Be alert and aware of your surroundings. That includes being able to hear what is happening on the trail. If you are listening to music during your walk or ride, please take one earbud out so that you can hear when cyclists or joggers are signaling that they are passing.
Bicyclists should slow down and be prepared to stop when others are on the trail. Kids and pets can react unpredictably, and pedestrians may be wrapped up in a conversation and get startled if a bicyclist approaches at a fast pace.
• For your safety, wear a helmet. Head injuries due to falling off a bike are the highest reported injury for bicyclists. Protect yourself with a helmet.
• Be visible. Use lights and reflectors on your bike. When crossing a street, use the trail underpasses or a nearby crosswalk.

Creeks and riparian (streamside) habitats are home to a wide variety of aquatic and terrestrial species. Creeks also serve as wildlife corridors that allow movement between areas of usable habitat. As human communities grow, so does the demand for natural resources (minerals, soil, water, land for housing) on which plants and animals also depend. All local creeks could benefit from protection and restoration: see if you can spot some of these plants and animals that depend on healthy creeks.
R I P A R I A N P L A N T S
Big Leaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) This native tree provides shelter, food, and shade for insects and other animals. Living up to their name, most leaves are 12 inches wide, but exceptionally large leaves are 24 inches across!
White Alder (Alnus rhombifolia) A native tree usually growing right at the water’s edge where its roots armor and stabilize the streambank while also providing shelter for fish and insects.
Fremont Cottonwood (Populus fremontii) One of the largest native trees found along creeks, whose shade helps keep creeks cool. In the spring, seeds look like lightweight cotton balls as they are carried off by the wind.
Sedge (Carex sp.) Over 100 different species of sedges grow in California, each with varying colors, shapes, flowers, and seeds.
Willow (Salix sp.) Fast-growing red, yellow, arroyo, and sandbar willows provide shade and habitat for creeks.
California Blackberry (Rubus ursinus) The fruits of this native vine-like shrub provide food for birds and mammals in the summer.
Poison Oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum)
This native deciduous plant can take the shape of low-lying ground cover, a trailing vine, or a shrub. WARNING: The oil on the leaves and stems of poison oak can cause itchy rashes. Wash hands and clothing after coming in contact.
Invasive plant species “escape” from our yards and crowd out native California plants. Particularly troublesome are giant reed (Arundo donax), English ivy (Hedera helix), and privet (Lingustrum sp.).
B I R D S A L O N G T H E C R E E K S
Grabbers or stabbers? The long bills of herons and egrets can spear prey, however are more commonly used like chopsticks to deftly snatch a meal.
Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) North America’s largest heron (3–4.5 feet tall with a 6.5 foot wingspan) can be identified by their blue-gray feathers and wide black stripe over the eye. Great blue herons either slowly stalk prey in shallow water or stand still and wait for fish to come within range of their long necks and bills.
Black-Crowned Night-Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) These medium-sized herons have a black “crown”
on their head, light grey bodies, black backs, short yellow legs, and red eyes. They may be
spotted roosting in trees during the daytime. When hunting in the evening and at night, they stand still at the water’s edge and wait to ambush small fish, crustaceans,
frogs, and aquatic insects.
Green Heron (Butorides virescens) Identified by their dark green wings, chestnut colored bodies, dark heads, and bright orange legs, these small herons hunt patiently at the water’s edge, and may lure fish by using twigs or insects dropped in the water as bait.
Great Egret (Ardea alba) Standing just over 3 feet tall with white bodies and black legs, great egrets wade in shallow water to hunt fish, frogs, and other small aquatic animals. Typically, they stand still waiting for unsuspecting prey to pass by before striking with a jab of their long, s-shaped neck and sharp yellow bill.
Snowy Egret (Egretta thula)
With distinct black legs and bright yellow feet, they can be spotted hunting for fish and crustaceans in the creeks. Snowy egrets grow long, white plumes in the spring to attract their mates.
Anna’s Hummingbird (Calypte anna) Approximately the size of a ping-pong ball, with long thin beaks to collect nectar from flowers, males have iridescent emerald backs and wings, grey chests, and rose-pink heads and throats. Females have green heads and backs and grey chests.
Black Phoebe (Sayornis nigricans) Almost always found near water, black phoebes sit on low perches and make short flights to catch insects. You can identify them by their black heads, breasts, backs, and wings, with contrasting white bellies.
Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) Identified by dark blue backs and wings, blue crests on their heads, white necks, blue breast bands, and white bellies, belted kingfishers hover over or perch close to water before plunging in headfirst after fish, amphibians, small crustaceans, insects, and reptiles.
Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)The most common duck species in Santa Rosa, males stand out with their green heads and white neck bands, while females blend into their surroundings with speckled brown feathers.
Common Merganser (Mergus merganser) In winter these ducks migrate south to Santa Rosa. Males have white bodies, iridescent-green heads, black backs, and red beaks. Females have rusty cinnamon heads and grey bodies with a white chests.
F I S H A N D O T H E R A N I M A L S
Steelhead/Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) As juveniles, steelhead trout leave the freshwater stream where they are born and migrate to the ocean. As adults, steelhead return to the same river or creek to spawn. Rainbow trout are the same species, but spend all their life in fresh water. Steelhead trout are listed as a threatened species in the Russian River watershed.
Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) The largest salmon (also known as king salmon) is listed as a threatened species in our watershed. They are born in fresh water, live in the ocean until they are adults, and return to the stream where they were born to spawn. Unlike steelhead trout, Chinook spawn only once and then die.
Sacramento Sucker (Catostomus occidentalis) Deriving their name from their downward pointing mouths that suck up algae and decaying organic matter from the bottom of a stream, young Sacramento suckers live in warm, protected streams. As adults they migrate to larger rivers or lakes.
Clear Lake–Russian River Roach (Hesperoleucus symmetricus) Unlike many fish species, these 4 inch long gray-blue and silvery fish can survive in very warm water, even up to 90°F. They feed on algae and aquatic insects.
Three-Spine Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) Growing to about 2 inches, they are named for the three
sharp spines on their backs. During mating season, males develop a bright red throat and belly. Some sticklebacks spend their entire life in fresh water, while others migrate to the ocean.
Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) Adults are parasitic fish whose bodies look like small eels. Larvae live as filter feeders burrowed in the muddy stream bottom for 4-7 years. When they reach about 6 inches long, they metamorphose into juveniles with round, sucker-like mouths and sharp teeth. Swimming to the ocean, they feed on the blood of other fish. After 1-3 years, adults return to fresh water to spawn.
Exotic fish species that live in the creeks include: bluegill, bullhead, sunfish, carp, largemouth bass, and catfish.
Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) Known also as crawdads or crawfish, these crustacean look like tiny lobsters. They feed on aquatic plants and insects in the creek while breathing through gill-like structures at the base of their legs.
Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) As semi-aquatic, 1–2 foot long rodents, muskrats live in
burrows dug into streambanks. Their name is from the musky odor they use to mark their
territory. They can hold their breath underwater for 15 minutes. Webbed back feet help them swim and they
can close their ears to keep water out.
Western Pond Turtle (Actinemys marmorata) The only native freshwater turtle in California likes to bask on rocks and logs in the morning sun.
Kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula) Identified by contrasting black/brown and white/light yellow stripe, this harmless snake’s diet consists of small mammals, reptiles and their eggs, amphibians, birds and their eggs, and large insects.
North American Raccoon (Procyon lotor) Eating crayfish, frogs, mollusks and other creatures living in the creek, racoons also forage for acorns and fruit.
North American River Otter (Lontra canadensis) Using their webbed feet and strong tails to swim, river otters catch fish, amphibians, turtles, and crayfish in the creeks. Counting their tail, adult males can measure up to four feet long.
Macroinvertebrates Numerous species of small organisms without vertebrae live in the creeks and form the base of the food chain. They eat algae and leaf litter, and are an important food source for fish and other wildlife. A reliable indicator of water quality, some can survive in poor conditions while others (like the mayfly nymph) need clear, cool, well-oxygenated water.
Welcome to the Creek Trails of Santa RosaThere are many miles of creeks that flow through Santa Rosa which can be enjoyed year round. Whether roaring along in a whipping winter wind or trickling over rocks in the sultry summer shade, our ever-changing creeks provide a refreshing touch of nature in the urban environment. This Creek Trails Map and Guide intends to set you on the path to learn more about our creeks and how you can help take care of them. Follow your curiosity and discover what makes using the Creek Trails Map and Guide so much fun!
The creeks and waterways throughout Santa Rosa provide us with many benefits we often take for granted. Flood control, wildlife habitat, scenic beauty, trails for recreation, alternate routes to work or shopping, wildlife corridors, educational opportunities, and the bit of peacefulness in our busy lives, are all gifts that the “natural infrastructure” of creeks bring to Santa Rosa and the surrounding area.
Keeping water clean and creeks welcoming and safe is a responsibility we all share. We can all do small things in our daily lives to protect our creeks. Taking the time to clear a fallen branch off the trail, report a problem, volunteer for a creek cleanup, or a simple nod or bright smile to a fellow trail user, can make our journeys along the creeks more rewarding.
The creeks are ours to enjoy. Help take care of them. We want to hear your good suggestions, your questions and comments, your insights and observations. And, of course, a bit of your time is always appreciated.
