Gallinas Creek
Gallinas Creek runs from the upper slopes of San Rafael open space areas in an open channelized stretch through an urban residential area, then winds through the Santa Margherita Island and Santa Venetia preserves, and discharges into San Pablo Bay.
Gallinas Creek is highly impacted by channelization and urban residential runoff in its upper and middle reaches.
The north fork of Gallinas Creek drains the Smith Ranch Road sub-watershed, the Northgate Industrial area and Terra Linda along Manual T. Freitas Parkway.
The south fork of Gallinas Creek drains the Civic Center Lagoon, the auditorium channel, including Los Ranchitos, Northgate Shopping Center, and Santa Venetia.
