Baugh Creek is a tributary of the Little Wood River in Blaine County, Idaho, United States.[1] The creek is located in Sawtooth National Forest right next to Buck Creek.[2]

Baugh Creek is home to beavers, due to them being parachuted into the area in the 20th century. The beaver areas have been shown to be resilient against forest fires than neighbouring ares that lack beavers.[3] [4]
