Arcola Creek
Information on Arcola Creek
The perennial reach of Arcola Creek begins at the base of a rocky escarpment where groundwater discharges out of fissure in the rock. Arcola Creek then flows for about 500 feet to an old Mill Pond that once powered a sawmill. At this mill pond, a tributary discharging from a large spring to the north joins Arcola Creek. Downstream of the mill pond, Arcola Creek increases in gradient as it flows another 150 feet to join the St. Croix River.
