Everything about Dry Creek American River totally explained
Dry Creek is a
stream in
Placer County and
Sacramento County, California,
USA, tributary to the
American River. Its watershed lies within the
Sacramento Valley. Because suburban development borders much of its length, the stream is noted for its capacity to cause local
flooding and as a recreational attraction.
Route of Dry Creek
The Dry Creek watershed headwaters are in western Placer County. Below the confluence of
Secret Ravine, Miners Ravine, and Linda Creeks, in
Roseville, Dry Creek flows westward past a
wastewater treatment plant to the
Sacramento County line. After crossing into Sacramento County it flows through Gibson Ranch County Park and through the communities of
Robla and
Rio Linda.
Environmental conditions in the Roseville area
Historically Dry Creek and its tributaries have supported a
Anadromous fish.
In the Dry Creek watershed four insecticides (
DDT,
aldrin,
heptachlor, and
dieldrin, were used extensively for soil insect control between 1945 and 1965;; certain residues of these chemical persist in upper soils of some of the upper Dry Creek watershed. In addition there have been instances of subsurface fuel releases.
