Urban Creek Trails

Body

Welcome to the City of Santa Barbara's Urban Creek Trails Program! Our mission is to celebrate the vital role of local creeks in our community. These waterways provide essential wildlife habitat, natural beauty, and flood management. By exploring our Urban Creek Trails, you'll discover how these charming streams support diverse ecosystems and enhance our City's landscape.
