Cache Creek (Sacramento River)
Cache Creek is an 87-mile-long (140 km) stream in Lake, Colusa and Yolo counties, California. The South Fork begins at Clear Lake (for which it is the sole outlet) in Lake County, roughly parallels State Route 20, and turns south at the junction with State Route 16 in Colusa County. The North Fork presently begins at Indian Valley Dam and Reservoir in Lake County, joining the South Fork near the highway junction at Wilbur Springs. Bear Creek, the main tributary, travels along a scenic canyon from Wilbur Springs to Woodland, paralleling State Route 16.

Famous quotes containing the word creek:
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
