Redwood Creek is a short but significant stream in Marin County, California. It drains a 7-square mile (18 km²) watershed which includes the Muir Woods National Monument, and reaches the Pacific Ocean north of the Golden Gate at Muir Beach. It provides a critical spawning and rearing habitat for coho salmon, coastal cutthroat and steelhead trout, both of them threatened species.
