Laguna Creek is a perennial stream that flows northwesterly for 2.6 miles (4.2 km)[5] along the San Andreas Fault from Woodside in San Mateo County, California and, after crossing the Phleger Estate and Filoli, enters Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir,[6] where it is a historic tributary to San Mateo Creek.[7] San Mateo Creek then carries its waters over Crystal Springs Dam northeast to San Francisco Bay.
