Lower Peninsula

The Lower Peninsula Watershed is a 98-square-mile area whose many small-creek watersheds feed the tidal wetlands along the San Francisco Bay's southwest shoreline (see map and click to enlarge). Its San Francisquito and Stevens creeks in this watershed are among the last remaining viable steelhead trout runs in the county.
