Stillwater Creek
Lake Marcel is principally fed and drained solely by Stillwater Creek, named for the historic community downstream at the base of Stillwater Hill. Near Stillwater, the creek briefly joins Harris Creek before meeting the Snoqualmie River in an area protected by the 456-acre (1.85 km2) Stillwater Wildlife Area, owned by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. The 44-acre (180,000 m2) Stillwater Natural Area, owned by King County, is adjacent. The portion of Stillwater Creek below Lake Marcel is also labeled as Essency Creek on some maps and government databases.

Famous quotes containing the word creek:
“The only law was that enforced by the Creek Lighthorsemen and the U.S. deputy marshals who paid rare and brief visits; or the “two volumes of common law” that every man carried strapped to his thighs.”
