Tolay Creek is a southward-flowing stream in southern Sonoma County, California, USA.
Tolay Creek originates near Stage Gulch Road (part of State Route 116) about 2 mi (3 km) north of Lakeville, California. It feeds Tolay Lake, then descends to flow under State Route 121 north of the Infineon Raceway. It parallels State Route 121 southward to State Route 37 at Sears Point, California, feeds into the Napa Sonoma Marsh, and enters San Pablo Bay west of Tubbs Island.
The Tolay Creek watershed lies between those of Sonoma Creek and the Petaluma River.
South of State Route 37, Tolay Creek marks part of the western boundary of the Sonoma Valley AVA, a Federally-designated wine appellation.[2]
