Moore Creek named for pioneer Eli Moore, forms part of the western boundary of the city of Santa Cruz. It flows through the old Moore ranch, and 246 acres of the former ranch land is now the Moore Creek Open Space Preserve, part of the city’s greenbelt. Downstream from the park, Moore Creek was later dammed to form Antonelli Pond. Below the pond, the creek flows through Natural Bridges State Beach, where its riparian corridor has created a prime Monarch butterfly wintering site.
