San Felipe Creek is a 14 miles (23 km) stream that originates in the western Diablo Range in Santa Clara County, California.[1] It flows south by southeast through two historic ranchos, Rancho Los Huecos and Rancho Cañada de San Felipe y Las Animas before it joins Las Animas Creek just above Anderson Reservoir. One of the nine major tributaries of Coyote Creek,[3] the creek's waters pass through the Santa Clara Valley and San Jose on the way to San Francisco Bay.
