Coldwater Creek Restoration Projects

 

Eastons Creek Restoration Project

Eastons Creek is located about 45 minutes northwest of Perth, Ontario in the Mississippi River Watershed. Waddle Creek, one of the few remaining coldwater brook trout creeks in this watershed, flows into Eastons Creek and continues into the Clyde River. This project increased stream cover through tree planting to shade and cool the water at Eastons Creek and increased shoreline habitat.

Waddle Creek – Brook Trout Restoration

Waddle Creek is a cold water creek located in Lanark Highlands Township. Waddles Creek is a reach of Eastons Creek which flows into the Clyde River which drains into the Mississippi River. Waddle Creek is one of five cold water streams within the Mississippi Valley Watershed.

Coldwater streams are significant tributaries in the proper function of natural ecosystems as they help to moderate temperatures in the larger rivers and lakes they flow into. Not only are these streams water temperature regulators, they also provide nursery habitat for many fish species including brook trout which require the cold temperatures and high dissolved oxygen levels that these creeks possess.
