Every few years, someone dies while trying to raft down or swim in one of Contra Costa’s waterways.
Here are a few tips that could save your life:
- Be aware of fences and warning signs identifying the flood control channels
- Stay out of the channels
- If you see a person in the creek or channel, immediately call 911

Have seen homeless in there frequently
Saw tents downstream of Marsh Drive in Walnut Creek this afternoon, near the EBRPD trail. Where is the Water Quality Control Board? If you or I dumped human waste into the creek we get a huge fine. Them? Clean needles.
Every year or two, someone tests Darwin’s theory and ends up as a poster-child for ‘don’t try this at home’ announcements. And then the Lawyers bring out a lawsuit in an effort to prove that stupidity should be rewarded.
The county should make an effort to keep the homeless out and press charges on them for trespassing and destruction of property for cutting all the holes in the fences.
I remember many years ago, when there wasn’t such blight in Concord, the Steelhead would swim through the creek. We could go fishing in there and keep one or two. Now it’s nothing but a crap area for the homeless. What happened? I just don’t know why we let our Country get this way. We disrespect our Police but cater to homeless and people who steal from us. We blame teachers for our kids bad behavior but expect them to babysit them for free while we stay home. Everything is so backwards now. Just ranting.
I remember when people had brains and used them before governments tried to control everything you say or do.
