Acme Creek Watershed
The Acme Creek watershed covers 13 square miles and is located at the southern end of east Grand Traverse Bay. Acme Creek and its tributaries originate from groundwater seeps in a near-pristine area at the southern end of the watershed in East Bay and Whitewater townships. Land use in this watershed consists mainly of 63% forest, 15% urban, and 12% nonforested. Only 6.5% is agricultural land that is mainly pasture or orchards/vineyards. The Acme Creek system, which is replenished mostly from groundwater, is designated as a cold-water trout stream.
