Chollas Creek
Chollas Creek

Chollas Creek is an urban creek in San Diego County, California, United States, that drains to the San Diego Bay. It is also referred to as Las Chollas Creek. Chollas Creek arises in Lemon Grove and La Mesa, where its four branches begin. It empties into the Bay at Barrio Logan. The creek is 30 mi (48 km) long. The creek splits into two main forks and may be dry during the Southern California dry season.: 2–1  Multiple plant, animal, and aquatic wildlife species live in or around the creek, including the rare plants Juncus acutus leopoldii and Iva hayesiana, and the threatened Coastal California gnatcatcher.: 22 The creek has been in existence since before 1500 BC, and it was used by the Kumeyaay, who had a village by the creek.: 9 : 43  By 1841, the Kumeyaay village was no longer present on the creek.: 35  The creek has flooded several times, affecting people living nearby. Portions of the creek have been armored or channelized.: 1  A dam was constructed on a tributary in the early 20th century, forming Chollas Reservoir. The presence of the reservoir led the United States Navy to construct the Chollas Heights Navy Radio Station to the north.The Chollas Creek valley has been described as "one of San Diego's most neglected watersheds." For decades the creek has been plagued by pollution, illegal dumping, and the destruction of natural habitats. It is an "impaired" water body because of high levels of pollutants. In 2002, the City of San Diego began a plan to rehabilitate the creek. In 2021, a plan to make the creek area into a regional park was adopted.
