Jolly Giant Creek
Jolly Giant Creek, named after Jolly Giant Mill that was historically located along the creek,[1] is an ephemeral creek in Arcata, California. Jolly Giant Creek has constructed wetlands that were constructed for water quality.[2] In 2014 the North Coast regional water board recommended that Jolly Giant Creek be listed as an impaired waterway due to E. coli contamination 600 times greater than normal.[3]
