San Leandro Creek Trail Master Plan <br />1-4 <br />1.2 LOCATION <br />San Leandro Creek is a year-round stream in Northern California that runs <br />through the Upper San Leandro Reservoir, Lake Chabot and finally flows into <br />the San Leandro Bay. It passes through Alameda County during the course <br />of its flow. The project area covers an approximately 6-mile segment of the <br />San Leandro Creek corridor between Chabot Dam and the San Francisco <br />Bay as shown on Figure 1-1. This portion of the San Leandro Creek corridor <br />is located in the communities of San Leandro and Oakland. The Creek is an <br />open creek and is channelized in Oakland while natural in San Leandro. The <br />City of Oakland is the largest city in Alameda County with a population of <br />400,000. The City of San Leandro claims the fifth position in the County with <br />85,000 people calling it home. <br />The San Leandro Creek runs generally east-west; although there are portions <br />that turn north or south for short distances; therefore, the sides of the San <br />Leandro Creek will be referred to as “north side” or “south side” throughout <br />the report. <br />FIGURE 1-1 PROJECT LOCATION <br />18
