Geologist Peeks at San Leandro Creek

There's a surprisingly bucolic stretch of creek sandwiched between I-880 and Oakland International Airport.

The Oakland Geology website is offering a peek at San Leandro Creek between Hegenberger Road and I-880, a surprisingly natural-looking landscape that was the original shoreline of San Francisco Bay.

Above this point, the creek is walled in; below, it flows past the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline into San Leandro Bay.
