It flows from Millcreek Township through the city of Erie, into Presque Isle Bay. Much of the creek in the city was channeled into the Mill Creek Tube, which was constructed after the Mill Creek's disastrous flood struck the city in 1915. == Course == The Mill Creek begins in extreme eastern Millcreek Township and travels westward until it is joined by a couple of smaller tributary streams. From there, it roughly follows Pennsylvania Route 505 (Glenwood Park Avenue) northward until the creek is diverted underground. The creek passes through the middle of the Erie Zoo, where several bridges span the creek. One of the bridges is designed to act as a "drift catcher", preventing large debris from entering the tube further downstream.〔Boyd, p. 2B.〕 The drift catcher is also used by the zoo's train to cross over the Mill Creek.〔 At 30th Street, the Mill Creek is diverted underground, for over through the Mill Creek Tube and passes underneath downtown Erie. The creek reappears above ground on the northern side of the Bayfront Parkway before emptying into Presque Isle Bay, at the eastern end of the bay, near South Pier. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mill Creek (Lake Erie)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
