view Blanchard River Watershed Map - jpg

The Blanchard River Watershed is located in the southeast part of the Western Lake Erie Basin. The headwaters begin in Kenton, Ohio until bending around the Findlay reservoir and flowing to the west towards Ottawa. The river empties into the Auglaize River, then into the Maumee River and eventually into Lake Erie. The topography of the Blanchard River watershed, like much of northwest Ohio, is generally flat. The City of Findlay, the largest community within the Blanchard, is slightly sunken within the basin, much like a divot on the 18th green.
