Railroad Creek

Railroad Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Washington.^[1] It flows into Lake Chelan in the unincorporated community of Lucerne.

Railroad Creek was so named on account it was proposed a railroad should be built near its course, however this project did not materialize.^[2] The 1946 MGM film, Courage of Lassie was shot on location here, near Holden.^[3]
