Downstream, the Clinton River goes underground in Pontiac near Orchard Lake Road and Bagley Avenue. The river reappears, after being piped under Pontiac for 3,000 feet (910 m), near Union Street and E. Huron Street (M-59), where it winds its way eastward to Auburn Hills and beyond.

Ironically, Crystal Lake was originally named Mud Lake.
