Maacama Creek is a 7.3-mile-long (11.7 km)[ stream in northern Sonoma County, California, U.S.A., which empties into the Russian River near the city of Healdsburg.
Maacama Creek begins at the confluence of McDonnell Creek and Briggs Creek near Peter Hill in the Mayacamas Mountains.
From there, it flows south, paralleling Briggs Ranch Road almost to State Route 128, where it turns westward. It parallels the highway for about 0.7 miles (1.1 km) before passing under to meet Redwood Creek.
Upon entering the Alexander Valley, it turns southward again and parallels Chalk Hill Road until it meets Franz Creek.
It then flows west another 0.71 miles (1.1 km) to enter the Russian River about 4 miles (6 km) east of Healdsburg.
