Overview

Springstead Creek is a tributary of Hogtown Creek. The creek starts just west of Rawlings Elementary School. It flows through the North Main Industrial Park and continues through Pine Haven and Creekside, behind Stephen Foster Elementary, and through Cottage Grove before joining Hogtown Creek in the Forest Creek neighborhood. The creek drains an area that includes a superfund site currently in the process of remediation.
