Sausal Creek Watershed
Experience the urban-creek connection. Sausal Creek begins in the Oakland Hills and flows through the city, discharging into the tidal canal that separates the island of Alameda from Oakland; the creek ultimately flows into San Francisco Bay.

Activities:
Download a map and pick your trail! Trails range from easy to more adventurous, and include creek crossings over rocks and small waterfalls.
Insider Tip: Along Dimond Canyon Trail, look for parts of the creek built up with conrete and stamped “W.P.A. 1939.” These markers identify Sausal Creek as a project of the Work Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s.
