Hat Creek

:"This page is for the stream in California. For the town bearing its name, see Hat Creek, California. For the one in British Columbia, Canada, and related placenames, see Hat Creek (British Columbia)Hat Creek is a stream in Northern California. The creek rises in two forks on the eastern slopes of Lassen Peak in Lassen Volcanic National Park, and flows northward through Lassen National Forest to its mouth at Lake Britton near Burney, California.

The lower three and a half miles of the creek has been designated by the California Department of Fish and Game as a "Wild Trout" waterway, with restrictive catch limits. This area has a similar geology to the chalk streams of southern England, and is considered a classic trout stream. The trout population is made of wild rainbow and brown trout of up to 20 inches in length.

The main towns along Hat Creek are the town of Hat Creek, CA, hence the name; and Old Station, CA, which is closer to Lassen Park.
