Yorkton Creek,[1] formally known as Little Whitesand River, is a river in the south-east region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The river begins at Leech Lake, south of Yorkton, and flows north into the Whitesand River. The Whitesand River flows east into the Assiniboine River, which is a major tributary of the Red River. While Yorkton Creek begins at Leech Lake,[2] its main tributary, Crescent Creek,[3] has its headwaters in the Beaver Hills[4] to the west.[5]
