River Day celebrates the leadership of local citizens, organizations, and communities whose efforts are critical to protecting and enhancing the overall water quality of the Clinton Watershed.  Events range from the uppermost parts of the watershed in Oakland County’s Springfield Township where the branches of southeast Michigan’s most populous river system begin; all the way to the mouth of the river in Macomb County’s Harrison Township where the Clinton River meets Lake St. Clair.
