The Donegal Creek Watershed is located in the Northwest section of the county. This is a 17 square mile watershed. Today there are about 28 miles of streams within the Donegal Creek Watershed. The mainstem of Donegal Creek and its tributaries flow mostly southeast to the stream’s confluence with the Chiques Creek just north of Chiques Rock. According to the USGS Stream Stats website only about 3% of the watershed is forested and nearly 6% of the watershed has urban development on it. The watershed starts east of Elizabethtown but does not flow through many cities or towns. There is an active watershed association doing work within the watershed, the Donegal Fish & Conservation Association. The Association does mostly outreach and educational work along with stream and conservation work throughout the watershed. There have been a couple of studies completed by various groups on the watershed. From watershed wide assessments to Total Maximum Daily Load Plans.
