Everything about Sycamore Creek totally explained
Sycamore Creek is a
perennial stream in
Contra Costa County, California,
USA. There is an associated trail along a portion of the creek, which trail has been deveoped by the city of
Danville, California and the
East Bay Municipal Utility District.
In the late summer very low flows are realized; moreover, in the late summer, which is toward the end of the dry season, the waters appear murky green, and much of the creek consists of a chain of stagnant pools. No noticeable odors emanate from this stream. Concrete and rock reinforcements are present all along the creekbed in much of the stream. The creek receives
surface runoff from open space and residential land use. A fairly rich but narrow corridor of
riparian vegetation appears along the much of the middle reach creek bed, including
cattails, numerous tree
species, and a variety of
herbaceous plants. The creek flows at considerable force during the rainy season (November to March), and once a week in the summer water is released from a private reservoir upstream located next to Old Blackhawk Road.
The headwaters of Sycamore Creek rise on
Mount Diablo, a protected
nature reserve. This scenic upper reach has some
Miocene fossil-bearing formations.; moreover, the upper headwaters reach is habitat for numerous
rare species and
endangered species including several
serpentine endemics. Much of the middle reach five miles of Sycamore Creek reveal limited potential for hazardous materials contamination, as the developments abutting the stream bed consist of a
country club, residential development and
rural land use.
