Bartlett Creek is a creek in Lake County, California. It is a tributary of North Fork Cache Creek.
Bartlett Creek is a 6.5 miles (10.5 km) long tributary of North Fork Cache Creek. Its mouth is at an elevation of 1,631 feet (497 m). [1] A bridge crosses the creek about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) above its mouth. At this point the creek undergoes a transition from a trout stream to a cyprinid and sucker stream. [2]
The creek drains the Bartlett Management Area of the Mendocino National Forest. The terrain is moderately steep and rugged, with elevations from 1,400 to 4,800 feet (430 to 1,460 m). [3] The Köppen climate classification is Csb : Warm-summer Mediterranean climate. [4] Vegetation is mainly chamise and chaparral on the south slopes, and stands of timber on the ridgetops and north slopes. [3]
Bartlett Springs is near the head of Bartlett Creek. [5] The Allen Springs are in the Bartlett Creek [a] canyon 3 miles (4.8 km) below Bartlett Springs on the road between Williams and Bartlett Springs. [8]
