Baxter Creek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baxter Creek is a three-branch creek in Richmond and El Cerrito, California, United States forming the Baxter Creek watershed. The creek has three sources and flows from the East Bay hills to Stege Marsh and the San Francisco Bay.
The creek has been largely culverted over the years since the Rancho San Pablo and then subdivided Bishop Ranch, then known as Bishop Creek, were developed urbanly. This caused the residents to miss the creek as it disappeared under the asphalt and the Friends of Baxter Creek formed. This group has restored several portions of the creek at Baxter Creek Park, Pointsett Park, and Booker T. Anderson Park to a pristine Riparian condition, however the Anderson Park portion has been ravaged by litter and shopping carts.[1]
The Ohlone Greenway bicycle and pedestrian path has its northern terminus at Baxter Creek Park.
