TURKEY

 CREEK

    Turkey Creek starts in Griffith, Indiana, about 20-25 miles away from where we live in Hobart, Indiana.  Turkey Creek runs through a very industrial area; this area is well known for its steel mills.  The land that Turkey Creek runs through is made of mostly dirt, clay, and sand.  Turkey Creek also runs through a lot of wooded areas.  Turkey Creek is very shallow; therefore, there is no boating or any other type of water activities that take place in it's waters.  Turkey Creek eventually runs into Hobart's Lake George and that is where it ends. Taylor, Travis, and Elana monitored and recorded the data from the Turkey Creek sites.  The above picture are from the site where we test water at. To the naked eye the water doesn't look so bad but the water quality could definitely use some work.
