A watershed is another word for a river basin. It's an area of
land that drains into a common body of water. Ever wonder where
all that rain and melting snow goes when it washes down the
drain in the parking lot? In most of Macomb County, the eastern
half of Oakland County, and small areas of southern Lapeer and
St. Clair counties, this water makes its way into the Clinton
River and eventually out to Lake St. Clair. The land that drains
into the Clinton River covers 760 square miles and includes over
1,000 miles of streams in addition to the 80-mile-long main
branch.
