Pipestone Creek

Pipestone Creek is a waterway that runs through central Alberta, Canada. For example, over 100 acres (0.40 km2) of Pipestone Creek parkland is situated in Millet, Alberta, with a combination of meadows and urban forest.

It originates east of Pigeon Lake and flows east.[1] It is crossed by Highway2, Highway 2A, Highway 13, and the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks before it empties into the Battle River east of Wetaskiwin.[2]

Tributaries include the Bigstone Creek, Huard Lake and Coal Lake.[3] Long Lake and Watelet Lake are developed on the course of the creek.

This creek is unrelated to Pipestone Creek and Fossil Bed near Grande Prairie, Alberta.[4]
