Slab Creek is a California creek that flows through the Eldorado National Forest. The creek has a rich history of gold mining, logging, and hydroelectric power generation. The hydrology of Slab Creek is primarily fed by snowpacks and surface flow, with the creek providing water to the South Fork American River. The snowpacks in the region are an important source of water for the creek, which also contributes to the agricultural industry in the surrounding area. Recreational activities, such as fishing and hiking, are popular in the region. The creek is also used for whitewater rafting, kayaking, and canoeing. The Slab Creek Reservoir is a significant feature in the region, providing drinking water and hydroelectric power to the surrounding communities.
