Jackson Creek is a creek in Monroe County, Indiana that drains the south-eastern part of the city of Bloomington. Flowing in the general south-western and southern direction, it flows into Clear Creek south of Bloomington.[1] Clear Creek is a tributary of Salt Creek, which in turn flows into the East Fork of Indiana's White River.

Jackson Creek flows southward along College Mall Road from Buick Cadillac Blvd to Moores Pike, and then southward along Sare Road. It turns westward north of McCartney Lane and flows southwest, passing under Rogers Road just east of the High Street roundabout. It then flows through the city-owned "Goat Farm" property and Sherwood Oaks Park alongside Jackson Creek Trail.[2] From there Jackson Creek continues to flow southwest, passing under Rhorer Road, Fairfax Road and Old State Road 37 / South Walnut Street. It then passes through Jackson Creek Park[3] before flowing into Clear Creek just west of Rogers Road.
