Pine Creek

Pine Creek is a 23.7-mile-long (38.1 km)[1] tributary of the Mississippi River in Winona and Houston counties, Minnesota, United States. Pine Creek joins the Mississippi southeast of La Crescent, Minnesota, directly across from La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Pine Creek was named for the white pine trees near its banks.[2]
