Blucher Creek is a small, natural waterway, also known as a stream. It flows for about 5.2-mile-long (8.4 km) in California, United States. This creek starts in the hills south of a town called Sebastopol. From there, it makes its way to a larger wetland area known as the Laguna de Santa Rosa.

Where Does Blucher Creek Flow?

Blucher Creek begins its journey on a place called English Hill. At first, it flows downhill towards the north. Soon after, the creek makes a turn and starts flowing eastward. It then runs alongside Blucher Valley Road.

Crossing Under Roads

As Blucher Creek continues its path, it goes under several roads. These include Bloomfield Road, Canfield Road, and Lone Pine Road. It also crosses beneath Gravenstein Highway, which is also known as State Route 116.

Reaching the Laguna de Santa Rosa

Finally, Blucher Creek reaches its end point. It joins with the Laguna de Santa Rosa. This meeting point is just west of Todd Road. The Laguna de Santa Rosa is an important wetland that helps filter water and provides a home for many plants and animals.
