Clear Creek (Great Miami River)

Clear Creek, about 100 meters before its confluence with the Great Miami River in Franklin, Ohio.

Clear Creek is a tributary of the Great Miami River in southwestern Ohio. The creek forms in Lebanon, Ohio with the confluence of Emley's Run, Ryley's Run, Roser's Run, and Lower Mad River Run. It then passes through Clearcreek Township and almost entirely across Franklin Township from east to west, and then discharges into the Great Miami River in Franklin, Ohio.[1]

Clear Creek was so named on account of the clear quality of its water.[2] The creek lends its name to Clearcreek Township in Warren County.[3]
