The 'Tiffin River' is a tributary of the
Maumee River, approximately 75 mi (121 km) long, in southeastern
Michigan and northwestern
Ohio in the
United States. It drains a primarily rural farming region in the watershed of
Lake Erie. The upper reaches of the river in Michigan and in Ohio north of
Burlington are sometimes called 'Bean Creek'.
It rises in southeastern Michigan along the
Hillsdale-
Lenawee county line, approximately 12 mi (19 km) east of
Hillsdale. It flows east into Lenawee County, then generally SSW into northwestern Ohio across western
Fulton County. At
Stryker it turns to the south for its lower 15 mi (24 km), following a highly
meandering course and joining the Maumee from the north 2 mi (3 km) west of
Defiance.
