Railroad Creek
Appearance
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]
