McDougal Creek[1] is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The river's source is at the southern end of Divide Lake at the northern end of Narrow Hills Provincial Park[2] in a hilly plateau called Cub Hills.[3] The landforms of the Cub Hills, such as the lakes, streams, steeply rolling hills, and flat lowlands, were formed over 10,000 years ago during the last ice age. The entire course of the river is in the boreal forest[4] ecozone of Canada.
Divide Lake[5] is a small bifurcation lake of which the north flowing outlet goes into Little Bear Lake and the southern outlet is McDougal's source. From Divide Lake, the river travels south through the park and hills, then easterly en route to the Mossy River, which is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River.
