Creek Description

Wildcat Creek runs from East Bay Regional Park District land (Wildcat Canyon and Alvarado Park) down through the Cities of Richmond and San Pablo, ending in the San Francisco Bay. 90% of its 13 miles are natural, with no obvious reinforcements or concrete channel. Most of its watershed (the land that drains to the creek) is parkland, with only 20% covered by impervious surfaces such as roads and houses.
