Wagner Creek (Florida)

Wagner Creek is a waterway located in the city of Miami, Florida. It is a tributary of the Miami River, flowing into the river near its mouth at Biscayne Bay. The creek is approximately one mile in length and is primarily channelized.

Historically, Wagner Creek was a natural stream that drained a significant portion of the surrounding area. Over time, due to urbanization and development, the creek was altered and straightened to improve drainage and accommodate infrastructure. This channelization has had environmental consequences, impacting the creek's natural habitat and water quality.

Efforts have been made to improve the ecological health of Wagner Creek and its surrounding areas. These efforts often involve restoring natural features to the creek banks and implementing stormwater management practices to reduce pollution runoff. Wagner Creek is also located near several important historic neighborhoods like Little Havana and Spring Garden.
