Battle Creek is an urban creek located in the central eastern metropolitan area. It begins at Battle Creek Lake outlet and primarily runs through wooded parks along its path, providing habitat for wildlife and the opportunity for recreational activities, before flowing into Pigs Eye Lake and discharging to the Mississippi River. The main WOMP (Watershed Outlet Monitoring Program) station in the Battle Creek Watershed is Battle Creek below Hwy-61, River Mile 2.2. The River Mile 2.3 station was added for stage monitoring only due to an established beaver dam that was affecting stage at the 2.2 station.
