Yulupa Creek is a 2.8-mile-long (4.5 km)[2] southeast-flowing perennial stream that rises on the southeastern flanks of the northern Sonoma Mountains in Sonoma County, California, United States.[3] This creek, which drains the eastern slopes of Bennett Mountain, is a tributary to Sonoma Creek, which in turn discharges to San Pablo Bay. Yulupa Avenue in Santa Rosa is presumably named after this creek.
