Long Island
Creek watershed is a large drainage basin located in Sandy Springs,
with its Eastern origination point just Southwest of the
intersection of Glenridge Dr. and Glenforest Rd. The
Northern boundary is generally Mount Vernon Hwy and the
Southern boundary is generally Mt. Paran Rd. The
runoff from the watershed area creates Long Island Creek,
which flows in a West-Southwesterly direction to the
Chattahoochee River.
