Lemon Creek (Staten Island)
Lemon Creek is a stream located on the South Shore of Staten Island, one of the five boroughs of New York City. It is one of the few remaining ground-level creeks in New York City.
==Geography==
Lemon Creek emerges from a conduit under Rossville Avenue〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Forgotten New York: Lemon Creek )〕 and flows into Porzio's Pond, located north of the intersection of Woodrow Road and Maguire Avenue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】format=PDF ) 〕 Water from the pond reaches Lemon Creek both above ground and underground.〔 Flowing generally southward, near the intersection of Drumgoole Road West and Maguire Avenue, Sandy Brook empties into the creek. This small stream now originates just south of Sharrotts Road and east of the West Shore Expressway. Lemon Creek continues southward under the Korean War Veterans Parkway and Drumgoole Roads, and begins to widen among marshes south of the Staten Island Railway. The creek turns eastward and passes under Bayview Avenue, then southward again. Just above its mouth, it receives a tributary from the east draining Wolfe's Pond, which is located within a city park of the same name. A marina and boat moorings are located here. Immediately below, it empties into Prince's Bay, part of Raritan Bay, just off the corner of Bayview Avenue and Johnston Terrace.
Throughout its above-ground length, Lemon Creek is generally regarded as the boundary between the South Shore neighborhoods of Prince's Bay and Pleasant Plains. Its watershed covers about 2 mi2 (5.2 km2)〔 and lies within the terminal moraine crossing Staten Island.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Geology of Staten Island )〕 The lower reaches of the creek, below the Staten Island Railway, are bordered by extensive marshes, the largest and most pristine on the south shore of Staten Island.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lemon Creek Park Preserve )〕 This area includes both salt marsh and the only tidal freshwater marsh on Staten Island.〔(【引用サイトリンク】format=PDF )〕
Much of the creek below Hylan Boulevard, and a long strip of shoreline to the west, is part of the 105.77 acre (42.80 ha) Lemon Creek Park, established in 1962. The park includes the Seguine family mansion.〔 The northern, wooded portion of the park forms the 15.99 acre (6.47 ha) Lemon Creek Park Preserve.〔 Wolfe's Pond and its source, Wolfe Brook, comprise the 341.33 acre (138.13 ha) Wolfe's Pond Park.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Wolfe's Pond Park )〕 The upper reaches of Lemon Creek, and most of Sandy Brook flow through Bloomingdale Park, 138.67 acres (56.12 ha).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Bloomingdale Park )〕
