Flint Creek is a stream that forms in Arkansas and flows generally southwest into Oklahoma.[1][2] It originates around Springtown, Arkansas,[3] and is impounded at Siloam Springs Lake, north of Siloam Springs, Arkansas, before crossing the Oklahoma border.[4] The creek eventually flows into the Illinois River on the eastern boundary of the town of Flint Creek, Oklahoma.[5][2] Normally the creek is crystal clear and flows year-round.[2]
