Ecorse Creek Watershed

Watershed Summary

The Ecorse Creek Watershed is located within Wayne County, in southeast Michigan. The North Branch of the Ecorse Creek and the Sexton-Kilfoil Drain (South Branch) join each other in Lincoln Park and Ecorse and flow east for a half mile before reaching the Detroit River. The watershed drains an area of approximately 43.4 square miles in a heavily urbanized region, including a portion of the Detroit Metropolitan Airport in the headwater region of the Sexton-Kilfoil Drain. The Ecorse Creek Watershed is locally funded and approved under the CMI administrative rules.
