The Seneca Creek watershed is very large- it covers 129 square miles. It is roughly bounded by Darnestown, Poolesville, Clarksburg, Damascus, Germantown, Montgomery Village. Laytonsville, and Gaithersburg. The headwaters of Seneca Creek are near Damascus and the mouth is at Rileys Lock on the Potomac River. Major tributaries are Little Seneca Creek and Dry Seneca Creek. It isn’t possible for just a few people to take care of it. There’s no shortage of creative ideas! Join us for an event, or ask us to help you organize your own.
