Kids Creek is a stream in Grand Traverse County, Michigan in the United States. The stream is a tributary of the Boardman River, which itself flows into Grand Traverse Bay, a bay of Lake Michigan. The stream drains an area of about 7 square miles (18 km2).[1] The stream is so named because fishing in the stream was originally restricted to children. Previous names for the stream include Mill Creek, Hospital Creek, and Asylum Creek.[2]
