Lower Deer Creek about 1 mile downstream from Lake Wildwood Reservoir. Bedrock-lined step-pools, cascading waterfalls, and steep topography characterize this stretch of creek. Surrounding landscape consists of foothill chaparral forest.
Deer Creek's
health is important
to our quality of life. Hundreds of creeks in California have already been lost forever to development. Restoring Deer Creek offers a unique opportunity to work together to keep our homes and businesses in harmony with the wilderness. When our work succeeds, residents and visitors alike will be able to hike on trails by sparkling silver waterfalls, eat fish from pollution-free pools, and swim with their children in the riffles of a crystal clear stream.
