Red Bank Creek
Red Bank Creek is a major stream in Tehama County, California and a tributary of the Sacramento River. About 39 miles (63 km) long,[1] it originates in the foothills of the Coast Ranges, near the boundary of the Mendocino National Forest, and flows east across the Sacramento Valley to join the Sacramento River near Red Bluff. Red Bank Creek, like the other streams draining this part of the western Sacramento Valley, is a highly seasonal stream that flows only during the winter and spring.[2]
The creek was named for the reddish character of its clay banks.[3] The creek has also been known as Red Bluff Creek, Redbank Creek and Baranca Colorada (Spanish for "red canyon").[1]
