Piedmont's Creeks:​

​

Indian Gulch (Trestle Glen) originates near the Sotelo-Glen Alpine loop and flows parallel to Sea View Avenue before flowing through Crocker Highlands to Lake Merritt.

​

Wildwood Creek flows from Wildwood Gardens to Oakmont Avenue, and continues under Lakeshore Avenue to Lake Merritt.

 

Bushy Dell Creek begins in Piedmont Park and flows under Witter Field, then under Magnolia Avenue to Grand.

​

Pleasant Valley Creek originates in Dracena Park and flows under Grand Avenue to Lake Merritt.

 

 

Cemetery Creek follows Moraga Avenue and crosses Mountain View Cemetery, becoming Glen Echo Creek in the Piedmont Avenue neighborhood.

 

 

Sausal Creek is outside Piedmont but drains a small area along Park Blvd. It flows through the Dimond and Fruitvale Districts of Oakland.
