The Sisquoc River is a
river in
Santa Barbara County, California. It is a tributary of the
Santa Maria River, which is formed when the Sisquoc River meets the
Cuyama River. The 50-mile long river originates at 6,590 feet atop San Rafael Mountain, in the
San Rafael Mountains, which are part of the California Coast Range. The Sierra Madre Mountains form the
watershed's boundary to the north, while the San Rafael Mountains form the southern boundary. The first half of the river, in the
Los Padres National Forest, specifically the San Rafael Wilderness, travels roughly northwest. Outside of Los Padres, the river flows roughly west to its confluence with the Cuyama River, about 20 miles upstream from the
Pacific Ocean. The river is completely free flowing and does not have any diversions. Its sole
dam is a 3-meter dam on Horse Canyon, one of its tributaries, but it is filled with
sediment and causes little restriction to the river's overall flow.
