From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sink Creek is a stream in Nodaway County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Nodaway River and is 5.7 miles long.[2]

A variant name was "Sinking Creek".[1] The creek was so named because it is a losing stream along part of its course.[3] The stream begins about 3 miles northeast of Clearmont, travels southwesterly to a point about 2 miles northwest of Clearmont where is joins the Nodaway River.
