Boulder Creek is a 7.9-mile-long (13 km) stream tributary of the San Lorenzo River in the U.S. state of California. Its drainage basin consists of approximately 11.3 square miles (29.3 km2) of Santa Cruz County. Its main stem begins high in the Santa Cruz Mountains in Big Basin Redwoods State Park. It flows generally south, through the Park and unincorporated community of Boulder Creek, before finally emptying into the San Lorenzo River in the community's downtown.
