Flat Creek

Flat Creek is a tributary of the Sacramento River that flows through the Sacramento-Upper Clear watershed of California. The creek begins in the Trinity Alps and flows for 16 miles before joining the Sacramento River. Flat Creek is known for its crystal-clear waters, which are perfect for swimming and fishing. The creek is also home to a variety of fish species, including rainbow trout, brown trout, and chinook salmon, making it a popular destination for anglers. In addition, the area surrounding the creek is rich in wildlife, with black bears, bald eagles, and mountain lions all calling the area home.

Visiting Flat Creek offers a unique opportunity to explore the stunning natural beauty of Northern California. The creek is surrounded by forested mountains and scenic hiking trails, making it a great spot for outdoor recreation. Visitors can also participate in activities like kayaking and canoeing on the creek's calm waters.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
