Celebrate the spirit of Santiago Creek Week during May 9th through the 16th, 2009
While the urban environment in Orange County continues to change, hidden in its maze of neighborhoods, businesses, and roads are cascading waterfalls, ancient canyons of weathered sandstone, hillsides covered with wildflowers, shady oak woodlands, and the constant circulation of our drinking water. This fascinating urban oasis is known as the Santiago Creek Watershed.

Santiago Creek flows from the Cleveland National Forest, through the canyon communities and on through Villa Park, Orange and Santa Ana, where it joins the Santa Ana River.

Explore your favorite parts of the watershed and send us photos, which will be posted on this page. For nature tours within the watershed, please visit www.naturalist-for-you.org.
