Arroyo Calabasas (also known as Calabasas Creek) is a major tributary of the Los Angeles River, in the southwestern San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles County in California.
The stream begins below the Santa Monica Mountains and Simi Hills, from a merging of McCoy Canyon Creek and Dry Canyon Creek in Calabasas. It flows northeast through Woodland Hills and Canoga Park. There, it ultimately joins Bell Creek, directly east of Canoga Park High School beside Vanowen Avenue. The confluence that marks the headwaters of the Los Angeles River. Its flows is entirely encased in a concrete flood control channel.
