Jonathan Creek is a tributary of the Petitcodiac River in New Brunswick. The creek's watershed area is around 50 km². The majority of Jonathan Creek flows through the city of Moncton, eventually joining Jones Lake.[1] Because of its close proximity to commercial and residential areas, water run off and bank erosion have impacted the condition of Jonathan Creek.[2] In 2003, city of Moncton pleaded guilty to environmental charges regarding leachate from an out of service landfill being found in Jonathan Creek.[3]
