French Creek is a creek that is about two miles long. It begins in
Sierra County and flows into
Willow Creek about one mile north of
Camptonville. It was named for the fact that a large percentage of the gold miners living there in the
Gold Rush era were
French.
There is also a tributary of the Yuba River middle fork that is called French Creek, but that French Creek is located entirely in Nevada County.
