About Hickory Creek Watershed

The Hickory Creek Watershed is a vital subwatershed of the Lower Des Plaines Watershed, located in the southwestern region of Chicagoland.

There are over 100 miles of streams in the Watershed. Hickory Creek and its major tributaries – Spring Creek, Marley Creek and Union Ditch – flow through Tinley Park, Orland Park, Frankfort, Frankfort Square, Mokena, Homer Glen, New Lenox and Joliet. But Hickory Creek tributaries also drain corners of University Park, Richton Park, Matteson, Country Club Hills and Lockport, so they are part of the Watershed, too. After leaving Joliet, Hickory Creek waters enter the Des Plaines River, on to the Illinois River, the Mississippi River, and finally out to the Gulf of Mexico.
