Malletts Creek is a tributary of the Huron River and the most substantial waterway in the City of Ann Arbor at a length of 4.7 miles (7.6 km).
A tributary of Maletts Creek flows through County Farm Park, and in 2011 and 2012 a portion of this tributary within the park was converted into a three-acre wet meadow with native vegetation.
The conversion was part of a larger Malletts Creek restoration project that cost $2.8 million and resulted in the accidental death of an excavator operator, although it was successful in mitigating the threat of erosion to the creek and reducing the amount of phosphorus that flowed through it and into the Huron River by 25 percent.
