Blue Tent Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of California.[1] The stream flows for 9.5 miles (15.3 km) before it empties into the Sacramento River.[1]
Two traditions attempt to explain the name "Blue Tent Creek": firstly, it may derive its name from the blue tent of a local prospector; secondly that it was named after a blue tent which was a landmark on a local stagecoach route.[2]
