Dickshooter Creek is a tributary to Deep Creek in southwest Idaho in the United States, approximately 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Riddle. It is 22.5 miles (36.2 km) long.[1] Its watershed is entirely made up of rangeland.[2] It has very low water flow, and dries up during the summer months.[3][4] It is a common location for hiking and backpacking, particularly during the summer months.[5]
