Dry Creek is a seasonal stream in Sonoma County, California, that flows through the renowned Dry Creek Valley wine region. Despite its name, the creek carries water much of the year and is a favorite destination for anglers targeting steelhead trout and salmon during runs. Hikers can explore trails along its banks, passing through oak woodlands and past vineyards that produce some of the region's best Zinfandel. The creek's serene setting and abundant wildlife make it a rewarding spot for nature lovers, especially during spring when wildflowers bloom.
