Guide to San Francisco Bay Area Creeks

San Antonio Creek Watershed

San Antonio Creek Watershed includes:
Glen Echo Creek (Cemetary Creek), Pleasant Valley Creek, Bushy Dell Creek, Wildwood Creek, Indian Gulch Creek (Trestle Glen Creek), Park Boulevard Creek & 14th Avenue Creek

San Antonio Creek is, these days, more commonly called Oakland Estuary, or just the Oakland Inner Harbor. The northeast shore of Alameda also drains into San Antonio Creek. But, because Alameda is built on a sand dune, the soil is so porous that there were never any creeks in Alameda. The historic portions of West Oakland are also built on a dune and were devoid of creeks.
