Salt Creek

Water type: Stream
Continent: North America

Salt Creek (known in the Pawnee language as Ká’it Kiicu’) is a tributary of the Platte River, located in Saunders, Cass, and Lancaster counties in southeast Nebraska. It is approximately 44.38 miles (71.42 km) in length. Salt Creek begins in southern Lancaster County and flows north to connect to the Platte River at Mahoney State Park in Ashland.

Salt Creek, like all other saline wetlands in southeast Nebraska, owes its salinity to the porous nature of the Dakota sandstone through which it flows. The salt in the region ultimately originates from Cretaceous-era shale deposited when Nebraska was part of a vast inland ocean known as the Western Interior Seaway.

Salt Creek is rich in fish, with some popular species for fishing in these waters including bass, pike, sunfish, and carp. This is a favorite destination for anglers seeking diverse fish and beautiful landscapes in southeast Nebraska.
