Five Creek is a westward flowing stream that rises in the city of Rohnert Park, California, United States and discharges to the Laguna de Santa Rosa.[1] The creek is channelized as it flows through the city and runs in an artificially rectilinear fashion.[2] Considered waters of the United States as a jurisdictional matter, Five Creek has potential habitat for the California red-legged frog and the Western pond turtle.[3]
The name probably originated as a misreading of "Fire Creek," the name found on older maps.
