Lick Branch (Bearskin Creek tributary)

Lick Branch is a stream located in Gibson County, Indiana, United States. It is a tributary of Bearskin Creek, which eventually flows into the Wabash River.

Lick Branch is a relatively small waterway, generally characterized by its low flow and meandering course through a primarily agricultural landscape. Its name likely derives from a historical salt lick or mineral deposit in the area that attracted wildlife. The surrounding area is mostly farmland, with some wooded areas along the stream bank.

Hydrologically, Lick Branch contributes to the overall drainage of the Bearskin Creek watershed. Water quality is likely influenced by agricultural runoff, including fertilizers and pesticides. Its ecological significance is typical of small streams in the region, providing habitat for various aquatic insects, amphibians, and small fish.
