Green Creek is a 21.6-mile-long (34.8 km) [1] tributary to the Sandusky River in the northern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. It connects Mineral Springs at the village of Green Springs to the Sandusky River. [2]
Green Creek was so named on account of the mineral-stained rocks along its course. [3]
