Pine Creek is a 23.7-mile-long (38.1 km)[1] tributary of the Mississippi River in Winona and Houston counties, Minnesota, United States. Pine Creek joins the Mississippi southeast of La Crescent, Minnesota, directly across from La Crosse, Wisconsin.[2]

## History

[edit]

Pine Creek was named for the white pine trees near its banks.[3] There is also a South Fork Pine Creek that flows into Pine Creek. Pine Creek flows through the city of New Hartford, Minnesota.[4] This Pine Creek is in the eastern end of Winona County and should not be confused with Pine Creek (Rush Creek tributary) in the western region of the county.[5]
