Baxter Creek Gateway Park

Baxter Creek originates in underground springs beneath El Cerrito’s Mira Vista Golf Course and flows down from the hills in three branches to San Francisco Bay.

After running through Canyon Trail, Poinsett, and Mira Vista Parks, the creek forms one stream near the Gateway Property at San Pablo and MacDonald Aves. in El Cerrito and Richmond and then flows through Booker T. Anderson, Jr., Park and the Richmond flats into Stege Marsh and San Francisco Bay.
