Lick Creek (Meramec River tributary)

Lick Creek is a stream located in east-central Missouri, in the United States. It is a tributary of the Meramec River.

The creek flows generally eastward through Crawford County. It originates from springs and runoff within its watershed. The surrounding terrain is primarily forested, contributing to the creek's relatively clear water quality.

Lick Creek supports a variety of aquatic life, including various species of fish, invertebrates, and amphibians. It is popular for recreational activities such as fishing and canoeing, though access may be limited depending on land ownership.

The name "Lick Creek" likely refers to the presence of a salt lick in the area, a natural mineral deposit that attracts animals.
