Information About

Salt Creek Sangamon River Tributary




Salt Creek is about 86 miles in length. From its headwaters near Saybrook, Illinois , it runs generally westward to the main stem of the Sangamon near Greenview, Illinois .

The largest lake formed by Salt Creek is Clinton Lake near Clinton, Illinois, which provides cooling water for the Clinton Nuclear Generating Station .

The lower reaches of Salt Creek at one time formed the boundary between Mason and Menard Counties. This stretch has been channelized so that the modern route of the Creek only approximates the actual county line.

The major tributaries of Salt Creek include: Sugar Creek, Kickapoo Creek, and the North Fork of Salt Creek.
