Placer County The Dry Creek watershed headwaters are in western Placer County, in the foothills of
Sierra Nevada. A number of smaller streams meet in
Roseville, and the combined stream is called Dry Creek starting from the confluence of Antelope Creek and Miners Ravine. Dry Creek flows first southwest through Royer Park in downtown Roseville. Then it meets Cirby Creek and continues west across a
Union Pacific railyard, past a City of Roseville
wastewater treatment plant, into unincorporated Placer County, and then southwest again toward
Sacramento.
Sacramento County After crossing into Sacramento County, Dry Creek flows south-southwest between Gibson Ranch County Park (to the west) and the city of
Antelope (to the east). Then it flows southwest through the community of
Rio Linda, mostly split into two parallel branches that enclose a long narrow strip of land called Cherry Island. Finally, Dry Creek enters the
City of Sacramento northwest of
Robla, flows west-southwest (forming a small
delta) and merges with Steelhead Creek (
Natomas East Main Drainage Canal). Steelhead Creek flows south into Discovery Park in
American River Parkway and then west (parallel with
American River) into Sacramento River. •
