Mud Creek is a mostly buried south-easterly tributary of the Don River in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It has also been known at different times as Mount Pleasant Brook and Spring Valley Creek.[1][2]
At its full former reach, the source of Mud Creek began near Downsview Airport, from which the creek flowed approximately 11.5km southeast to its mouth at the Don River. Now considered one of Toronto's lost rivers,[3] much of the creek is now buried, with the sole surface portions visible consisting of a 2.1km stretch starting from Moore Park Ravine at the Moore Park neighbourhood to the Don River. However, with positive results of recent conservation efforts, it is also brought forward as a success story for good ravine management.[4]
