Rindler Creek is a stream that rises on Sulfur Springs Mountain in southwestern Solano County, California. A stream restoration project has been conducted to reverse the damage of cattle overgrazing.〔(Rindler Creek Restoration Project )〕 One goal of this project is to enhance habitat suitable for the endangered Northern Red-legged Frog. Water quality has been altered in Rindler Creek due to historic cinnabar extraction in this watershed. Cinnabar deposits were mined from this locale in the early 1900s via Hastings Mine and St. John's Mine.〔C.M. Hogan, M.
