Hogans Creek Watershed Project

Hogans Creek Overview

Hogans Creek, a small tributary of the St. Johns River, flows south/southeast through an urban/downtown area of Jacksonville, Florida before it empties into the river.  The St. Johns River flows northward from central Florida to Jacksonville, where it makes a sharp right turn before entering the Atlantic Ocean. 

​Therefore, this project site exists in the watersheds of both Hogans Creek (below) and the St. Johns River (left), each with human impacts that affect the river and the ocean.

Hogans Creek runs through the Springfield neighborhood and passes through Lutho Park and Confederate Park.  Some parts of the northern park of the creek run underground, below roads, buildings, and parking lots, specifically the UF Health Jacksonville medical complex.  However, most of the creek is above ground, running adjacent to roads, parks, and factories.
