Orrs Creek
DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR STORM DRAINS FLOW?
Orrs Creek begins high in the western hills above the Ukiah Valley meandering down through the steep valley pass of Low Gap. From the foothills to the valley floor, Orrs Creek continues east through the City of Ukiah to where it meets the Russian River. Orrs Creek flows seasonally during the winter months stretching into early to mid-summer supporting a variety of habitats and wildlife.
Passing through Low Gap Park, Ukiah Valley Golf Course, and Pomolita Middle School, makes Orrs Creek one of the most accessible creeks in the valley and a cherished community resource. Orrs Creek also serves as a major collector of stormwater runoff from the surrounding neighborhoods and city streets.
Remember, storm drains connect streets to creeks, which flow into the Russian River. Simple changes can make a big impact. Orrs Creek is Ours to Protect.
