Come explore with us!

At 50 square miles, the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District is home to many diverse water resources, including three creeks, fifteen lakes, and many acres of wetlands. Our community boasts extensive walking and biking trails, perfect for enjoying these water bodies, and this fall the watershed district is hosting an 11-mile bicycle ride along Riley Creek. At stops along the way we’ll discover new things about Riley Creek, the work the watershed district is undertaking to keep it clean, and what you can do to help. Lunch will be provided after the ride.
