A cooperative effort of government, business, education, citizen groups, and landowners, has been actively working on a Watershed Management Planning project in the Upper Maple River Watershed which encompasses portions of Clinton, Gratiot, and Shiawassee counties. The Maple River is one of six major tributaries of the Grand River which eventually flows into Lake Michigan. The area of focus known as the Upper Maple River Watershed is made up 16 smaller sub-watersheds and covers approximately 498 square miles in total. Portions of the Maple River State Game Area, the Gratiot-Saginaw State Game Area, and Sleepy Hollow State Park all fall within the Watershed. The Cities of Ithaca, Fowler, and St. Johns are located inside the watershed as well as the villages of Maple Rapids, Ovid, Elsie, Perrinton, and Ashley.
