Big Darby Creek, Brook in Logan County, Ohio, United States.
Big Darby Creek stretches 84 miles through northwestern central Ohio, flowing through Union, Madison, and Franklin counties before joining the Scioto River.
The creek received state protection in 1984 when Ohio designated it as a Scenic River, followed by national recognition in the Wild and Scenic Rivers System in 1994.
Researchers documented 72 different fish species and 40 freshwater mussel species in the creek during extensive surveys between 1984 and 1992.
The creek runs through Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park, which covers 7,060 acres and provides natural habitat preservation and recreational opportunities.
The highest flood recorded at Big Darby Creek reached 17.94 feet on January 22, 1959, marking a significant environmental event in the creek's history.
