Sycamore Creek is a perennial stream in Santa Clara County, California, United States.[2] The headwaters rise on the eastern hillsides near Twin Peaks and flow southwest, eventually joining with Uvas Creek.

History[edit]

The creek was named for the many sycamore trees growing along its bank.[1]

The Sycamore Creek Vineyards in Uvas Valley lies near the intersection between the creeks.
