Did you know?
Letts Creek is a tributary of Mill Creek, the largest tributary in the entire Huron River system, draining 144 square miles of land. Mill Creek joins the Haron River in Dexter, 13 river miles downstream of Vets Park.

Chelsea relies on municipal wells for its drinking water, which are protected in a Wellhead Protection Zone.

Any substance (such as oil) that is poured into a storm grate or dropped on the street goes directly into Letts Creek.

Volunteers with the Huron River Watershed Council have been monitoring the conditions of Letts Creek since 1993.

While the River is 129 miles long, an additional 370 miles of streams flow into the Huron River.

Most of the 1050 lakes and ponds in the Huron River basin were formed by glaciers.
