San Leandro Creek is a year-round natural stream flowing along the east side of the range which comprises the Berkeley Hills and the San Leandro Hills, immediately east of Oakland. It sustains the redwood groves in the unincorporated town of Canyon, California and was formerly lined with numerous oaks and willows in its lower course. In the hills, it runs into Upper San Leandro Reservoir and then Lake Chabot, both manmade lakes lying north of the unincorporated town of Castro Valley, California. It then runs through the city of San Leandro and on into San Francisco Bay near the Oakland International Airport.

Although it is channeled and culverted in places, it is remarkable among East Bay streams for being mostly uncovered throughout most of its course.
