Sara Creek (Dutch: Sarakreek) is a former tributary of the Suriname River located in the Para District of Suriname. After the completion of the Afobaka Dam in 1964, the Sara Creek flows into the Brokopondo Reservoir.^[1] In 1876, gold was discovered along the Sara Creek, and a railway line from Paramaribo to the river was completed in 1911.
