==Description==
The Shiawassee watershed is located south and west of Saginaw Bay in Central Michigan. Its basin is shaped like an hourglass, approximately long and wide at each end, and narrows to wide near Corunna.〔 The river rises in Oakland County's Springfield Township at Shiawassee Lake.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.springfield-twp.us/env_hwc.htm )〕 It is predominately a rural watershed that is dominated by agriculture uses in its lower region and agricultural and rural/small community residential uses upstream.
Near its confluence with the Tittabawassee River, within the bounds of the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, the Shiawassee receives the waters of the Bad, Flint, and Cass Rivers. Smaller tributaries of the river include: Denton/North Ore Creek, South Branch Shiawassee, Jones Porter Drain, Beaver Creek, Birch Run Creek, and Swan Creek. It flows through Holly, Fenton, Linden, Corunna, Owosso, and Chesaning.
Supporting approximately of watershed environment, there are over 61 species of fish, including darters, minnows, channel catfish, pugnose shiner, greater redhorse, stonecat, river chub and striped shiner. There are also 14 species of freshwater mussel found in the watershed. The swamps and fens adjacent to the river's headwaters support several rare species of plants and animals and play a major role in the travels of migratory waterfowl and shorebirds.
