Red arrow shows where Shingle Mill Creek flows into the San Lorenzo River. Photo by John Pilge, Spring 2011. South of Felton. Starting at 1000 ft elevation, on the eastern slope of Ben Lomond mountain, it flows along Big Trees Road to enter the San Lorenzo River, just south of the bridge at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Typical for a small stream entering a large stream, there can be as many as three different connection points where Shingle Mill Creek flows into the San Lorenzo River.

North of where Shingle Mill Creek flows into the San Lorenzo River there is a stream gauge station to monitor the San Lorenzo River.
